Answer: 94.8 % (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total household in the U.S is x,

⇒ The total household who did not have a telephone in 1960 = 21.5 % of x

= 0.215 x

According to the question,

The total household who do not have a telephone in 1990 = 75.8 % less than the household in 1960 who did not have the cell phone,

= (100-75.8)% of 0.215x

= 24.2 % of 0.215x

= 0.05203x,

⇒ The household in 1990 who had a telephone = x - 0.05203x = 0.94797x

Hence, the percentage of household who has a telephone in 1990

= \frac{0.94797x}{x}\times 100

= 94.797\%\approx 94.8\%

⇒ Around 94.8% household had telephone in the US in 1990.
