In which situation can growth percentage be high but absolute growth low?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Small base population and limited actual increase

Direct answer: B. Percentage growth compares the increase with the starting, or base, population: percentage growth = increase ÷ base population × 100. A small number can be a large percentage when the base is very small. For example, an increase of 10 people over a base of 100 people is 10%, even though the absolute increase is only 10 people. A large base would usually require a much larger numerical increase to produce the same percentage. A is not the best answer because both the base and increase are large. C has no growth, so its percentage is zero. D cannot be used normally because percentage growth with a zero base is undefined. Memory cue: percentage depends on the base; absolute growth is the actual number added.
