1) In 1985 the average visits is 45, so more than double this is at least 90. Only 1995 and 2000 years are above this threshold. C is the answer, thanks to the 3rd graph

2) From the 1st graph 50 is the average in 1980. 50 * 4.7 = 235

3) You do need the second and the first graph to answer this question. In 2000 the gift was 3.6 and the average was 90. of course, 3.6 is millions of $. \(\frac{3.6}{90} = 40\)

4) % increase between 1995 and 1990 is pretty straight : \(\frac{325-220}{220} = 47.7\) D is the answer 48%

5) A and C are false. Only B is true looking at all 3 graphs.


Hope this helps.

PS: the secret to tackle DI questions is to read super very carefully the stems and see very attentive the graphs. All the information are there.
