Question 1165367: directions; describe each of the following changes in two ways; as an absolute change in terms of percentage points and as a relative change in terms of a percentage
question; the percentage of republicans in the house of representatives from 40.9% in 2010 to 55.3% in 2016
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Absolute change was 14.4%, the last-the first
The relative change is (last-first)/first, the basic approach to percentage increase or decrease, the change divided by the original amount, or where one started.
that is 14.4%/40.9%=35.2%
