$\mathrm{(A)}\ 2 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 3 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 4 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 5 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ infinitely\ many$

Solution

Problem 4

In $1960$ only $5\%$ of the working adults in Carlin City worked at home. By $1970$ the "at-home" work force had increased to $8\%$. In $1980$ there were approximately $15\%$ working at home, and in $1990$ there were $30\%$. The graph that best illustrates this is:

Solution

Problem 5
