    The answer is: 7% annual growth rate

    Explanation:

    The Rule of 70 is a way to determine how many years it will take an economy to double its GDP (or GDP per capita) with a given annual growth rate.

    The formula used by the Rule of 70 is:

    number of years = 70

    to double an economy annual percentage growth rate

    In this exercise we substitute the known variables and calculate:

    10 years = 70 / (annual growth rate)

    annual growth rate = 70 / 10 = 7%
