Measurements are made at two different times. Find the absolute change and then find the relative change as a percentage. Round answers to the nearest tenth. The unemployment rate in midtown in 1995 was 20%. In 2002, it was 30%
To find the absolute change, subtract the initial value from the final value:
Absolute change = Final value - Initial value
Absolute change = 30% - 20%
Absolute change = 10%
To find the relative change as a percentage, divide the absolute change by the initial value and multiply by 100:
Relative change as a percentage = (Absolute change / Initial value) * 100
Relative change as a percentage = (10% / 20%) * 100
Relative change as a percentage = 50%
To find the absolute change, subtract the initial value from the final value:
Absolute Change = Final Value - Initial Value
In this case, the initial value is 20% and the final value is 30%.
Absolute Change = 30% - 20% = 10%
To find the relative change as a percentage, divide the absolute change by the initial value and multiply by 100:
Relative Change = (Absolute Change / Initial Value) * 100
Relative Change = (10% / 20%) * 100 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%
Therefore, the absolute change is 10% and the relative change as a percentage is 50%.
To find the absolute change, we need to subtract the initial value from the final value.
Absolute change = Final Value - Initial Value
In this case, the initial unemployment rate is 20% and the final unemployment rate is 30%.
Absolute change = 30% - 20%
Absolute change = 10%
To find the relative change as a percentage, we need to divide the absolute change by the initial value and multiply by 100.
Relative change = (Absolute change / Initial Value) * 100
Relative change = (10% / 20%) * 100
Relative change = 0.5 * 100
Relative change = 50%
Therefore, the absolute change in the unemployment rate is 10% and the relative change as a percentage is 50%.
