Explanation

Question 4. In 1998, Springfield spent $150,000 on safety and $50,000 on recreation facilities; hence, the city spent three times as much on safety as on recreation facilities. If you selected choice (B), you may have used the wrong chart.

Hence option C is correct.

Question 5. In 1992, Springfield collected $151,000 from income tax out of its total income of $433,000;$\frac{$151,000}{$433,000}$ is slightly greater than $\frac{1}{3}$, so select choice (D).

Hence option D is correct.

Question 6. The percent change formula is $\frac{difference}{original}*100$, so, $\frac{(532-433)}{433}*100$ $=\frac{99}{433}*100$ , or slightly less than a quarter (25%). The answer is choice B.

Hence option B is correct.
