Q1: Since the total private donation for child safety in Sept 1989 is a bit more than 9 mln, we should divide \(9^+\) by 38 to get roughly 0.236, which in million is 236,842 that is near to D since the answers are very spread apart. Answer D.
Q2: it's again a matter of estimation. The ratio between homeless and animal rights in September 1985 to December 1989 is computed as 300/230 mln = 1.3. Among the answers, 4/3 = 1.3 thus the answer is C.
Q3: Using the formula of the percent increase, it's easy to check that Child Safety got the highest increase from September 1989 to October 1989. Answer E.

Thank you very much for you and Carcass for all solutions and questions you are presenting here. But regarding question 2 above, why you did not use Starting value - the decreasing value / starting value formula?
