Percentage is gien by $\"%28Part%2FWhole%29%2A100\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You are told you started in 2002 with 34 and ended with 36 in 2010.
\n" ); document.write( "So take the starting number as your whole - that would be 34
\n" ); document.write( "Then find the difference between the ending number and the whole. That would be $\"36-34+=+2\"$ . This is the Part
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28Part%2FWhole%29%2A100\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F34%29%2A100\"$ = 5.88%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The percentage change is a positive 5.88%
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
