If the population of an area increases from 8,000 to 8,800, what is the absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 800

The direct answer is A: 800 people. Absolute growth is the actual numerical increase, so subtract the initial population from the final population. Final population = 8,800 and initial population = 8,000. Therefore, absolute growth = 8,800 − 8,000 = 800. Option A gives this difference. B is the starting population, not the increase. C is the final population, not the amount added. D comes from adding the two population figures, but addition does not measure growth. The formula is: absolute growth = final population − initial population. This measure is different from percentage growth, which compares the increase with the initial population. Memory cue: absolute growth asks, “How many people were added?”
