The town that spent $61,000 on the Crime Initiative had 32 violent crimes. The town that spent $40,000 on the Crime Initiative had 91 violent crimes. The question is really asking: 32 is what percent of 91?
Because the answer choices are spread so far apart, this question is begging us to solve it via approximation. I will estimate the fraction 32/91 as 30/90 = 1/3 = 33%. The only answer close to this is (C).
