Answer:
The absolute difference is 1050
The relative percentage is 32.3076%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
The population of a town increased from 3,250 in 2008 to 4,300 in 2010
In 2008:
[tex]P_1=3250[/tex]
In 2010:
[tex]P_2=4300[/tex]
Absolute difference:
we know that
absolute difference =[tex]P_2-P_1[/tex]
absolute difference =[tex]4300-3250[/tex]
absolute difference is 1050
Relative increase:
we know that
Relative percentage is
[tex]=\frac{P_2-P_1}{P_1}\times 100[/tex]
now, we can plug values
[tex]=\frac{1050}{3250}\times 100[/tex]
=32.3076
So, the relative percentage is 32.3076%
