A country has a population of 250 million and a total growth rate of 0.36 percent. What is the simple increase in one year?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 900000

A simple one-year increase is found by multiplying the original population by the growth rate written as a decimal. The percentage must first be divided by 100. This calculation gives the number added during one year; it does not include compounding over several years.

The population is 250 million, or 250,000,000 people, and the rate is 0.36 percent. Convert the rate to \(0.0036\), then calculate \(250000000 \times 0.0036 = 900000\). Therefore, 900,000 people are added in one year, making option C correct. The small percentage still produces a substantial number because it is applied to a very large population.
