A country has a population of 160 million and a total growth rate of 0.625 percent. What is the approximate simple increase in one year?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1000000

A simple one-year increase is found by applying the percentage rate directly to the starting population. Convert 0.625 percent into a decimal by dividing by 100, then multiply it by 160 million. This calculation assumes the stated rate applies for one year and does not involve compounding.

The increase is \(160000000\times\frac{0.625}{100}=1000000\). Thus approximately one million people, or 10 lakh people, are added in one year. Although 0.625 percent is less than one percent, it is applied to a very large population, so the numerical increase is substantial. Therefore, option C is correct.
