Why is percentage population growth used?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To compare growth of populations of different sizes

Percentage population growth measures the change in relation to the starting population. It is calculated as change divided by initial population, multiplied by 100. This gives a relative measure rather than merely an absolute number. Relative measurement is useful because countries and regions may begin with very different population sizes.

Thus option C is correct: percentage growth helps compare populations of different sizes. An increase of 10,000 people may be very large for a small town but quite small for a huge country. Percentage growth shows the scale of change fairly in relation to the original population. It is not a tool only for measuring land, births, or longitude, so options A, B, and D are unrelated.
