The question states that the number of students in grades 9 through 12 represents 35% of the total students at School District X in 1995 and asks how many total students were in School District X in 1995. Information about 1995 is found on the first chart. Looking at the solid line data, in 1995 there were 1,350 students in 9th grade, 950 students in 10th grade, 625 students in 11th grade, and 500 students in 12th grade. 1,350 + 950 + 625 + 500 = 3,425 students in grades 9 through 12. If T represents the total number of students in 1995, then 3,425 = 0.35 × T, which means that \(\frac{3,425}{0.35}=T=9,785 \approx 9,700\)
