Why can low percentage growth in a large base population give high absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the initial population is large

Correct answer: A. A percentage is applied to the starting population. Therefore, even a small rate can represent many people when the starting population is very large. For example, 1% of 100,000 is 1,000 people, while 10% of 1,000 is only 100 people. The first case has the lower percentage but the higher absolute increase. Option B is wrong because percentage is a useful comparative measure when calculated correctly. Option C is wrong because absolute growth can and should be calculated by subtracting the initial population from the final population. Option D is wrong because absolute growth is obtained by applying the rate to the population base. Memory cue: rate tells proportion; absolute growth tells people.
