Here's the deal: (stats question, not my question) In 1965 35% of those polled thought cohabitation was NOT a sin. In 2000 83% of those polled thought cohabitation was NOT a sin. So. Sum up? What is the significance beyond 'more people today are tolerant of cohabitation'---?????

 Are they asking for the percent 
increase? If so, you're looking at:
83-35 = 48
48/35 = 1.37, or a 137% increase in the number of people who found cohabitation to be acceptable.
