Question

Find the absolute change and the relative change in the following case. The number of daily newspapers in a country decreased from 2082 in 1900 to 1214 in 2010.

Answer 1

Answer:

-868

Step-by-step explanation:

-Absolute change is simply defined as the number by which a change has occurred.

-We therefore determine the difference between the two years by subtracting the new value from the old or reference value:

$\bigtriangleup=new \ value -old \ value\\=(1214-2082)\\\\=-868$

Hence, the absolute change is -868
