A country's population rises from 8 million to 9.84 million. What is the total percentage growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23 percent

To find total percentage growth, first calculate the absolute increase and then compare it with the original population. The population rises from 8 million to 9.84 million, so the increase is \(9.84-8.00=1.84\) million, or 1,840,000 people.

Now calculate \(\frac{1.84}{8.00}\times100=23\%\). Therefore option C is correct. The denominator must be the initial population, 8 million, because percentage growth measures change relative to the starting amount. The final population is 123% of the original, so the increase is 23%, not 24% or 23% of the final value.
