If a country's population rises from 1 million to 1.1 million, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 100000

Absolute increase means the actual number added to the population, not the percentage increase and not the final population. It is calculated by subtracting the initial population from the final population. The initial value is 1 million and the final value is 1.1 million. Therefore, the increase is \(1.1-1.0=0.1\) million.

Since one million equals 1,000,000, 0.1 million equals 100,000. Thus option C is correct. The final population is 1,100,000, but that is not the increase. Similarly, 50,000 and 75,000 are smaller than the actual difference. Careful attention to the word absolute helps distinguish the added amount from a growth rate or a total population.
