Answer:

Absolute change = 7.4 million

Relative change percentage = 85.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of refugees in 2005 = 8.7 million

Number of refugees in 2015 = 16.1 million

The absolute change :

(Number of refugees in 2015 - number of refugees in 2005)

(16.1 million - 8.7 million) = 7.4 million refugees

The relative change in the number of refugees :

((Number of refugees in 2015 - number of refugees in 2005) / number in 2005) * 100%

[(16.1 - 8.7) / 8.7] * 100%

(7.4 / 8.7) * 100%

0.8505747 * 100%

= 85.057%

= 85.1%
