If the Rule of 70 gives a doubling time of 32 years, what is the approximate annual growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2.19 percent

The Rule of 70 estimates the annual percentage growth rate from doubling time. Its approximate relationship is \(r \approx 70/T\), where \(r\) is the annual growth rate in percent and \(T\) is the doubling time in years. This is a shortcut rather than an exact population projection, but it is suitable for the stated estimate.

With a doubling time of 32 years, \(r \approx 70\div32=2.1875\) percent per year. Rounding this value to two decimal places gives approximately 2.19 percent. Thus option C is correct. The value 2 percent is a rougher rounding, while 2.5 percent would correspond to a shorter doubling time. The estimate also assumes that the growth rate is reasonably stable during the period considered.
