Question

In 2001 , chipper had 102 runs batted in. In 2008 , Chipper had only 75 runs batted in. Calculate the percent change in runs batted in from 2001 to 2008

Answer 1

Answer: There is decrease in percent of 26.47% from 2001 to 2008.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of runs that chipper had batted in 2001 = 102

Number of runs that chipper had batted in 2008 = 75

So, the year gap = 7 years

Difference in runs = 102- 75 =27

So, the percent change in runs batted from 2001 to 2008 is given by

`(27)/(102)* 100\\\\=(2700)/(102)\\\\=26.47\%`

Hence, there is decrease in percent of 26.47% from 2001 to 2008.
