Yes.

Between 1991 and 1996 - ( From 6. 47 to 7. 58 )

\begin{gathered} \text{percent change = }\frac{6.47\text{ - 4. 53}}{4.\text{ 53}}\text{ x 100} \\ =\text{ }\frac{1.94}{4.\text{ 53}}\text{ x 100} \\ =\text{ 42. 8256} \\ =\text{ 42. 83 \% ( to 2 decimal places )} \end{gathered}



c ) Even though there are exceptions, would you say in general the amount of Arctic ice is increasing or decreasing?

From the table above, the amount of Arctic ice is decreasing.
