Why can a large state have high absolute growth despite low percentage growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because initial population may be very large

Direct answer: A is correct. Absolute growth is the actual number of people added between two population counts. Percentage growth compares that addition with the initial population. When the starting population is very large, even a modest percentage represents a large number. For example, 2 percent of 1,000,000 is 20,000 people, which is a high absolute increase even though the percentage is only 2 percent. A is correct because a large initial base can create this result. B is wrong because percentage growth is calculated using the initial population, so it is related to population size. C is wrong because absolute growth can be positive, negative, or zero; it is not always zero. D is wrong because large states can contain very large populations. The key is to separate the number added from the proportion added. Memory cue: a small percentage of a huge base can be a huge number.
