A country's population rises from 40 million to 46.2 million. What is the percentage population growth over the period?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15.5 percent

The correct answer is B: 15.5 percent. The increase is 46.2 − 40 = 6.2 million. Divide this increase by the initial population and multiply by 100: (6.2 ÷ 40) × 100 = 15.5 percent. The initial population is the base for calculating percentage growth.
