A small village grew from 200 to 300 people, while a city grew from 20,000 to 21,000 people. Where is the growth rate higher?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the village

Correct answer: C, in the village. Growth rate is calculated as the increase divided by the original population, multiplied by 100. The village increased by 100 people: 100 ÷ 200 × 100 = 50%. The city increased by 1,000 people: 1,000 ÷ 20,000 × 100 = 5%. Therefore, the city added more people in absolute number, but the village grew faster in proportion to its original population. Option A is wrong because it confuses the larger numerical increase with the higher rate. Option B is wrong because 50% and 5% are not equal. Option C is correct because 50% is greater than 5%. Option D is wrong because both places experienced measurable positive growth. Memory cue: rate asks “how large is the increase compared with the starting population?”
