    Explanation:

    For computing the economic growth first we have to determine the change in nominal GDP i. e gross domestic product growth rate which is shown below:

    Change in nominal GDP growth rate is

    = (GDP as on 2015 - GDP as on 2010) : GDP as on 2010 * 100

    = ($15 billion - $10 billion) : $10 billion * 100

    = 50%

    Now

    Economic growth is

    = Change in nominal gdp growth rate + decreased in price level - increased in population

    = 50% + 10% - 2%

    = 58%
