Answer: The absolute change in the number of games won from the 2017 season to the 2018 season is 49 - 41 = 8 games.

To calculate the relative change in the number of games won, we can use the formula:

Relative Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

Plugging in the given values:

Relative Change = ((49 - 41) / 41) * 100 = (8 / 41) * 100 = 19.51 %

Round up to the nearest hundredth of a percent, The relative change is 19.51%.

So the absolute change in number of games won from the 2017 season to the 2018 season is 8 and relative change is 19.51%
