Official Explanation
Question 1
The top line in the graph represents “All People.” The percent of all people with an income-to-poverty ratio below 1.5 is slightly less than 25 percent, and the percent of all people with income-to-poverty ratio over 1.0 is slightly more than 15 percent. Therefore, the percent of all people with an income-to-poverty ratio between 1 and 1.5 is slightly less than 25 minus slightly more than 15, which equals somewhat less than 10. Choice (A), 9.5, is the best answer.
The correct answer is (A).
Question 2
In 2010, approximately 9% of people over the age of 65 had income below the poverty threshold. If there were 3.5 million such people, then you can find the total number, x, of people over the age of 65:
The correct answer is (C).
