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

A classroom has a row of $35$ coat hooks. Paulina likes coats to be equally spaced, so that there is the same number of empty hooks before the first coat, after the last coat, and between every coat and the next one. Suppose there is at least $1$ coat and at least $1$ empty hook. How many different numbers of coats can satisfy Paulina's pattern? $\textbf{(A)}\ 2\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 4\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 5\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 7\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 9$\\ (need visuals)
