B. 40% to 60%

C. 60% to 80%

D. more than 80%

Answer 1

From where the percentage is in 1990 and you count for the next 40 years, until 2030 it would have to be D.

Answer 2

Answer:D)more than 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Judging from the given graph

let us take in year 1840 percentage increase is 25%

and for year 1990 it is 75 %

Considering it be constant rate then slope of line is

`(75-25)/(1990-1840)=(50)/(150)`

for year 2030 percentage increase is

`(y-25)/(2030-1840)=(50)/(150)`

y-25=63.33

y=83.33

The percentage is most likely greater than 80%
