Answer:

They could save about $5 less per month and still have enough money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tuition for one year at a public two-year college is $3,125.

In 8 years, tuition is expected to increase 32%.

Arthur is 10 years old.

He will join college at 18 .

So, His tuition fees is expected to increase 32%.

So, tuition fee of one year for him=[tex]3125+32\% \times 3125[/tex]

=[tex]4125[/tex]

Arthur’s family plans to save for his college costs for 5 years.

1 year = 12 months

5 years = 1285 = 60 months

So, the family need to save in 1 month = [tex]\frac{4125}{60}[/tex]

= [tex]68.75[/tex]

So, they need to save 68.75

We are given that the family saves $75 per month

Difference = 75-68.75=$6.25

So, They could save about $5 less per month and still have enough money.

Option C is correct.
