Answer:

private universities can cost three times as much to attend as public universities.

Explanation:

Private universities are more expensive to attend compared to public universities. As per the graph, the public university is cost 7,000 while private university costs 23,000 to attend.  It is then correct to say that private universities cost more than three times as public universities ( 23,000/7,000= 3.29).

Community college costs 9000, while technical schools cost 4000; the cost is not five times more.

Technical schools 4,000 and community colleges are 9000; the costs are only two and a half more.
