The following table shows real GDP per capita for the United States, South Korea, and Chad between 1970 and 2000. All figures are in 1998 U.S. dollars. (image inserted) The (decade-long) economic growth rate for the United States is shown in the second column. For example, from 1970 to 1980, the United States GDP grew from $18,395 to $22,666, an increase of ($22,666−$18,395)/($18,395)=23%. Use this method to fill in the growth rates for South Korea and Chad in the previous table. Enter the growth rates to the nearest whole percentage point. Compare the data for the United States and South Korea between 1970 and 1980. During this period, (South Korea OR The United States) had a higher level of real GDP per capita, while (South Korea OR The United States) experienced a higher growth rate in real GDP per capita.
