    If we multiply the monthly savings of the Lopez family we will have:

    $275 * 12 * 3 = $9,900 for next 3 years. It means that correct answer would be B) not enough money or D) enough money. So lets assume that the bank have the annual interest rate of 6% (r = 0.06 : 12 = 0.005 - monthly). Then we can use this formula: S = P * (r + 1) * ((r + 1) ^n - 1) / r

    S = 275 * 1.005 * 0.19668 / 0.005 = 275 * 39.35 = $10,871

    It means that they will have more than needed for Verona's college.

    Answer: D) The family will likely have enough money. They will have saved $9,900 and have accumulated interest.
