Remember the percent change formula:
% change= x present - x past/x past
All the values are in billions, so you can ignore all the zeroes and just use the smaller numbers from the graph. In this case, Xpast is Pluton’s 2010 GDP, or about 24.5,and Xpresent is Pluton’s 2011 GDP, or about 28.2. Plug those into the percent change formula and use your on-screen calculator to get an answer of 15.1%, making choice (B) the best answer.
