If two areas have equal absolute increases but the first has a smaller base population, what will its growth rate be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Higher

Direct answer: B is correct. Growth rate is calculated by comparing the increase with the base population, usually as: growth rate = increase ÷ base population × 100. If the same number of people is added to two areas, that addition forms a larger percentage of the smaller base. For example, an increase of 100 is 10% of 1,000 but only 1% of 10,000. Therefore the first area, with the smaller base, has the higher rate. A is wrong because it reverses the percentage relationship. C is wrong because an actual increase is not zero growth. D is wrong because an increase gives a positive, not necessarily negative, change. Memory cue: same increase plus smaller base equals higher percentage rate.
