The table below shows the population for four cities in two different census years. Which city experienced the highest percentage population growth between 2010 and 2020? | City | Population (2010) | Population (2020) | |---|---|---| | A | 150,000 | 180,000 | | B | 200,000 | 230,000 | | C | 120,000 | 145,000 | | D | 180,000 | 210,000 |
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Calculate percentage growth: A = (30k/150k) = 20%; B = (30k/200k) = 15%; C = (25k/120k) ≈ 20.83%; D = (30k/180k) ≈ 16.67%. City C had the highest growth.
