1) College Budget
- 66% of the college’s budget is from the state. 5% comes from Student tuition. 28% comes from fees, grants and gifts.
- The significance is that it shows how much schools depend on the state for funds as opposed to straightforward tuition and aid from other lenders.
- A large percentage of the local college's budget comes from state funds, while only a small sum comes from student tuition, fees, grants, and gifts.
2) Prison Sentences
- Average: 22 months
- 8,12,12,12,12,14,84. Median = 12 months
- The median is more accurate in this case because the average is heavily inflated by the 7 year prison term of Michael Reese (84 months)and since 4 of the 7 people with prison terms were one year people anyways it makes sense that majority would be the more accurate average in this case.
3) Food sales and grocery sales
- California is 8.25% sales tax.
- With sales tax citizens would spend $291. Without sales tax it's $260. You save $31 without sales tax.
- With sales tax it's $1167. Without it's $1040. You save $127 without sales tax.

1) You've got the numbers right, but you need to be more specific in your explanatory sentence. So say something like "about two-thirds of the college's funding comes from the state," etc. ("Two-thirds" is easier to visualize than 67 percent, and more informative than "a large percentage.")
