Answer:

The answer is: B) $461

Explanation:

Next year tuition for a public university will be approximately $5,528.05:

next year's tuition = current tuition x (1 + 4.5%) = $5,290 x 1.045

If Jarrod wants to save enough money to pay for it, he needs to save approximately $461 per month (= $5,528.05 / 12).
