Question

The population of Placerville grew from 4360 a decade ago to 6590 today.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To calculate the absolute change, we simply have to subtract the beginning value from the final value

Mathematically, we have that as:

`6590-4360\text{ = 2230}`

b) Percentage Change

To find the percentage change, we divide the absolute change by the initial value, then multiply by 100%

Mathematically, we have that as:

`(2230)/(4360)*\text{ 100 \% = 51.1\%}`
