To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 You have that:

 -  Samantha receives a bill 3 times a year for tuition:

 3 times a year=3 trimeters=9 months

 - Samantha must complete 2 years of college to receive her degree:

 3 trimetersx2=6 trimesters

 - Each trimester costs $1,450 and the average cost for books each trimester is $350:

 Total cost=(6 trimeters)($1,450)+(6 trimeters)($350)
 Total cost=$10,800
