If the population of a region increases from 800000 to 840000, what is the absolute population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 40000

Absolute population growth means the actual numerical increase in people, not the percentage increase. It is calculated by subtracting the initial population from the final population. Here, \(840000-800000=40000\). Therefore, the region gained 40,000 people. This measure simply tells how many additional persons were added during the period; it does not describe the rate of growth or compare the increase with the original population.

Option C is correct because it gives the result of the subtraction. Option A, 20,000, and option B, 30,000, are smaller than the actual difference. Option D, 80,000, is the initial population rather than the increase. The wording asks for absolute growth, so no division by the initial population and no percentage calculation is required.
