1. There are four tiers of spending. Minnesota is in the highest while South Dakota is in the lowest. So, the percent ratio is equal to \(\frac{Lowest \ Tier \ Range * SD \ Population}{Highest \ Tier \ Range * MN \ Population} * 100\% = \frac{(1535 - 1161) * 0.8 \ million}{(2712 - 1971) * 5.2 \ million} * 100\% \approx 0.0776 * 100\% = 7.76\%\), which is closest to 8%.
2. Wisconsin is in the second-highest tier, which has a maximum of $1970 and a minimum of $1843. Let there be n schools that spent the maximum. Then, 2.5n spent the minimum. The average spend per person is \(\frac{n * 1970 + 2.5n * 1843}{3.5n} = \frac{1970 + 4607.5}{3.5} \approx 1879\).
3. Our answer will be: D1 - 8% and D2 - $1879.
