You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is my guess:
You have +x+ amount per year in the pension plan
You make +.08x+ per year investment return per year
---------
For each year,
+x+%2B+.08x+=+125000+
+1.08x+=+125000+
+x+=+125000%2F1.08+
+x+=+115740.74+
For 25 years,
+25%2A115740.74+=+2893518.5+
You need $2,893,518.50 in the pension plan.
That's my guess, you might want a 2nd opinion, too
