To solve this question we can only focus on top graph and calculate the answer.
Let's focus on 1990,
Total graduated in thousand approximately = 9.3
graduated in college in thousand approximately = 2
So, basically of every 100 means calculating the percentage,
= (2/9.3) * 100 = 21.5
If we scan the answers for the nearest possible value. only 21 make sense

"Of every 100" indicates a percentage value, so the stem is really asking, "Approximately what percentage of graduates in 1990 graduated from college?" Get the numbers to answer this question from the line graph. Note the word "approximately" in the question and the fact that the choices are pretty far apart and be prepared to estimate the answer instead of calculating it exactly.
Note from the line graph that about 9.5 hundred thousand total students graduated in 1990. That figure, "9.5 hundred thousand," can be awkward to think about. Since all the numbers you'll work with from the graph will be in hundred thousands, you can choose to ignore the units and just write 9.5. If you're uncomfortable doing that, consider abbreviating "hundred thousand" as, say, ht, and write "9.5 ht." The graph also says 2 ht college students graduated in 1990. The approximate percentage of graduates in 1990 who graduated from college was thus \(\frac{2}{9.5} \approx 21\) %
C is the answer
