Using Figure 3, calculate the percentage difference between the marine capture fishery stock considered overfished in 1974 and 2019.
Figure Global trends in the world's marine capture fishery stocks, 1974-2019
Using Figure 3, calculate the percentage difference between the marine capture fishery stock considered overfished in 1974 and 2019.
1974: 10%; 2019: 35%.
35% − 10% = 25%.
Alternative accepted calculation: (35 − 10) × 100 / 10 = 250%.
Working and the % sign are not required for full credit. Because “percentage difference” is ambiguous, accept either the 25% difference or the 250% relative change shown above.
