Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For political party A,

Number of seats won in 2004=206

Number of seats won in 2009=145

Decreased number of seats won by the party A, 206−145=60 Seats

So, decreased percentage =

206

61

×100=29.61%

For political party B,

Number of seats won in 2004=116

Number of seats won in 2009=138

Increased number of seats won by the party B, 138−116=22 Seats

So, increased percentage =

116

22

×100=18.96%

For political party C,

Number of seats won in 2004=4

Number of seats won in 2009=24

Increased number of seats won by the party C, 24−4=20 Seats

So, increased percentage =

4

20

×100=500%

For political party D,

Number of seats won in 2004=11

Number of seats won in 2009=12

Increased number of seats won by the party D, 12−11=1 Seats

So, increased percentage =

11
