Answer:

yes

Explanation:

In 8 years, when the tuition increases 32% over its present value, it will be ...

$3125 × (1 +32%) = 1.32 × $3125 = $4125 . . . expected cost

If the family saves $75 per month for 60 months, they will have saved ...

60 × $75 = $4500 . . . amount saved

The saved amount will exceed the expected cost of one year of college.
