119%

Explanation:

1980: GDP per capita was $70,000,000,000/5,100,000 = $13725,42

2000: GDP per capita was $160,000,000,000/5,300,000 = $30188,67

To find the rate of change we use this formula:

((Final answer - initial answer) / initial answer) * 100

($30188,67-$13725,42) / $13725,42 = 1.199*100=119%

Denmark's GDP rise 119% btween 1980 and 2000
