Answer:

%69.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate relative change is (final-initial)/initial * 100

So in this case, the equation to solve this problem would be (14,208-4,320)/14,208) * 100. With 14,208 being the "final" amount of organic farms in 2016, and 4,320 being the "initial" amount of organic farms starting in 1980.

Plugging in these numbers results in a final relative change of %69.6
