If a country's population rises from 500000 to 525000, what is the absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 25000

Absolute increase means the actual number of people added, not the percentage increase and not the final population. It is found by subtracting the initial population from the final population. Here the initial population is 500,000 and the final population is 525,000.

The calculation is \(525,000-500,000=25,000\). Therefore the population increased by 25,000 people, making option B correct. The number 525,000 is the final total, while 50,000 would be an incorrect subtraction. No percentage calculation is needed because the question asks for an absolute, or actual-number, increase.
