   - Tuition and fees for two semesters: $4,400
   - Textbooks for each semester: $420 per semester
   - Since there are two semesters, the total textbook cost is:
     \[
     420 \times 2 = 840 \text{ dollars}
     \]

   - Total annual cost (tuition, fees, and textbooks):
     \[
     4400 + 840 = 5240 \text{ dollars}
     \]

2. **Determine the monthly cost:**
   - There are 12 months in a year, so:
     \[
     \text{Monthly cost} = \frac{5240}{12} \approx 436.67 \text{ dollars per month}
     \]
