If two areas have the same growth rate but one has a larger base population, whose absolute increase will be larger?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Area with larger base population

Correct answer: B. When the growth rate is the same, the absolute increase is found by applying the same percentage to each base population. A larger base therefore produces a larger numerical addition. For example, at 10% growth, a population of 1,000 increases by 100, while a population of 10,000 increases by 1,000. Option A reverses this relationship. C is wrong because a positive growth rate normally adds people, so the increase is not zero. D is wrong because the rate is essential to calculating the increase, even though the base population also matters. The comparison assumes the same time period and the same stated growth rate. Memory cue: same percentage plus bigger starting number equals bigger actual increase.
