Nominal GDP increased from $15.62 trillion to $16.09 trillion, and the price level increased from 120.0 to 122.4. The growth rate of real GDP was approximately: (Round to the nearest second decimal.)

1.5%

Explanation:

Nominal GDP increased from $15.62 trillion to $16.09 trillion, and the price level increased from 120.0 to 122.4. The growth rate of real GDP was approximately:

Change in GDP = (16.09 - 15.62) / 15.62 = 0.47/15.62 = 3%

Change in Price = (122.4 - 120.0) / 120 = 2.4/120 = 2%

Growth in real GDP = 0.03/0.02 = 1.5%

1.00%

Explanation:

Nominal GDP increased from 15.62 to 16.09

Change in increment = 16.09-15.62

= 0.47% approximately 0.5%

Which makes it 1.00%
