<p>Just remember that without the EXACT wording on this thread, this is all conjecture.</p>
<p>The SAT is very specific and literal in their wording, and even though it might be confusing, they are ALWAYS clear on what they ask for.</p>
<p>So if they didn’t ASK for a percentage, or if the graph did not show percentages, then there would be no error - despite what anyone’s parents or PhD says.</p>
<p>Sorry :(</p>
<p>I did not take this test, but based on the information and the other posts it seems like the answer that fit best was 1/4.</p>
<p>My guess is they DID probably say “which answer gives the closest” or “approximate” change in pounds per year. Which is why there wasn’t an exact answer.</p>
<p>ALSO - as far as the SAT is concerned (and most math) ALL RATES ARE FRACTIONS. The word “per” literally is asking you to divide, as in “miles per hour” “price per tomato” “pounds per person”… which is another reason why the question is probably sound.</p>
<p>Hope you all did great on the Dec SAT!</p>
