If the Rule of 70 gives a doubling time of 40 years, what is the approximate annual growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1.75 percent

The Rule of 70 is an approximate shortcut linking annual growth rate and doubling time. It states that doubling time in years is about 70 divided by the annual growth rate in percent. If doubling time is known, rearrange the relationship to find the rate.

Annual growth rate \(\approx70\div40=1.75\%\) per year. Therefore option C is correct. This is an estimate rather than an exact compound-growth calculation, but it is the intended use of the Rule of 70. A rate of 1% would imply a doubling time near 70 years, while 2.5% would imply about 28 years, so neither matches 40 years as closely as 1.75%.
