Answer 1

The absolute change in the number of registered passenger cars from 1980 to a later year is 22,180,202, and the percentage increase is approximately 18.23%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the absolute change and the percentage increase in the number of registered passenger cars from 1980 to a later year, assumed to be recent as the number provided is higher than in 1980. To find the absolute change, subtract the number of cars in 1980 from the more recent number. Then, to calculate the percentage increase, divide the absolute change by the number of cars in 1980 and multiply by 100.

To illustrate:

• Absolute Change: 143,781,202 - 121,601,000 = 22,180,202
• Percentage Increase: (22,180,202 ÷ 121,601,000) × 100 ≈ 18.23%
