Official Explanation
Eliminate choices (C) and (E), years in which government spending was relatively low.
Comparing choices (A) and (B), spending was the same in both years, but in 2001, there were more total students, so the per student spending was less. This eliminates (A).
In 2002, choice (B), $85 was spent for every 57.5 students, which amounts to 85/57.5 = $1.48 per student.
In 2006, choice (D), $90 was spent for every 70 students, which amounts to 90/70=$1.29 per student. (B) is correct.
