In the same example which area has higher percentage growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the second area

The correct answer is B: the second area has the higher percentage growth. Percentage growth compares the increase with the original population. The formula is percentage growth = (increase ÷ original population) × 100. In the first area, the increase is 1,000 and the original population is 10,000, so the growth is (1,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100 = 10%. In the second area, the increase is 300 and the original population is 1,000, so the growth is (300 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 30%. Therefore, the second area has the higher percentage growth even though its absolute increase is smaller. Option A confuses actual increase with relative increase. Option C is wrong because both populations increased. Option D is wrong because 10% and 30% are not equal. Memory cue: always divide by the starting population for percentage growth.
