find the absolute change between the closing for the Dow Jones ind. average between Jan. 27 - 20,093.78 and Nov. 21 of 23,590.83 round to the hundredths of a point. and round to the nearest 0.01%. thank you.
absolute: just subtract one from the other
relative: divide that difference by the starting value (and express as a percent)
for the first one I got 3497.05 if rounded to the hundredths of a point, the answer is 3500? correct?
the answer if got for the second part was 23589.83 and rounding to the 0.01% not sure how to achieve that part of the answer.
The absolute difference is 3497.05
the relative difference is
3497.05/20093.78 = 0.1740 or 17.40%
you evidently did not read my instructions closely.

To find the absolute change between the closing prices of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on January 27 and November 21, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the difference between the two prices.
23,590.83 - 20,093.78 = 3,497.05
Step 2: Round the absolute change to the nearest hundredth:
3,497.05 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 3,497.05
Step 3: Calculate the percentage change.
Percentage change = (Absolute change / Initial value) * 100
Percentage change = (3,497.05 / 20,093.78) * 100 = 17.41 (rounded to two decimal places)
Step 4: Round the percentage change to the nearest hundredth.
17.41 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 17.41%
Therefore, the absolute change between the closing prices for the Dow Jones Industrial Average between January 27 and November 21 is 3,497.05 points, and the rounded percentage change is 17.41%.
