Answer:
Both terms are used to describe the relationship between two sets of data. However, percent refers to the rate of change, whereas percentage point measures the actual amount of change.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between a percent and a percentage point is related to ambiguity, which is why it's important you use the correct term. If you were to say that the number of adult smokers increased by 5 percent from an original value of 20 percent, you would be saying that the current estimate of smokers is at 21 percent. If you said it increased by 5 percentage points, however, then the final value would be 25 percent.
