Homework Help: Math

Posted by Emily on Monday, February 23, 2009 at 1:47pm.

I needed to find the absolute and relative differences for these two stocks and write two complete sentences:

MOD - 78.00
TRV- 3311.00

I found the absolute differences to be 3233.00 and -3233.00
and the relative differences to be 98% and -4145%
My sentences were
The Travelers Company stock costs 98% more than Modine Manufacturing Company.
and
Modine Manufacturing Company stock costs 4145% less than The Travelers Company.

I am a bit unsure about the relative differences, can someone please tell me if I am correct?
