If 800 is absolute change, then how could 712.43 be the answer. We can choose option D.

From question (i), it's absolutely 4750-4050 = 700.
Not sure, how the crazy answer 712.43% come.

@Faud - You need to find the sales turnover as accurate to scale as possible. Hence the crazy answer with two digits after decimal point.

@Naidu - (X-Y)is the absolute change between X and Y.
((X-Y)/X)*100 is the percentage change (or relative change).

What is the difference between percentage change and absolute change? explain?

Fuad Rahimov said:   1 decade ago
Could anyone clarify the solution, please?
the difference is like that: (1100-850)+(900-750)+(700-650)+(1150-1050)+(950-700)=800
But 800 is not found in any answer
