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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The area with the larger base population

Direct answer: B. Absolute increase is calculated by multiplying the base population by the growth rate, when the rate is expressed as a decimal. If two areas grow at the same percentage, the larger starting population produces the larger numerical addition. For example, 10% of 1,000 is 100, while 10% of 500 is 50. Option A is wrong because the smaller base produces fewer people at the same rate. Option B is correct because the same percentage acts on a larger starting number. Option C is wrong because a positive growth rate does not produce zero increase. Option D is wrong because the growth rate is essential to the comparison. Memory cue: same rate, bigger base, bigger absolute increase.
