Conchan <dorun -at- m3 -dot- dion -dot- ne -dot- jp> wants to interpret some data he's been given.
I do not agree with Bonnie's interpretation. I have a different one. (Sorry.)
> The data I was given are as follows:

> their percentage changes in population from 1980 to 1990.

> City A 95/5, 50/50, +95
> City B 20/80, 50/50, -40
> City C 80/20, 60/40, +20
> City D 90/10, 10/90, +180
I think the data shows that the total population of City A increased 95%
between 1980 and 1990. In orther words, it's almost twice as big now.
I don't think the third piece of data is related to the first two pieces.
I hope this helps!
