The economic activity of a country is often quantified as the gross domestic product (GDP), which is the sum of private and government consumption, investments, and net exports (the value of exports minus the value of imports). For a developed country such as the United States, economists might see a GDP growth rate of 3% a year as reasonable. However, production and consumption create some pollution. By how much would pollution per dollar of GDP have to decline for pollution levels 50 years from now to be the same as current levels, assuming a 3% annual growth rate of GDP? In 75 years? In 100 years? (Hint: Let the current pollution level be 1 and find out what the future pollution level would be).

To do so, they want to present a comparison of the number of years it will take for the economy to double, depending on the growth rate.
Using the rule of 70, determine the number of years it will take the economy to double at each growth rate.

12. The rule of 72 says that if something is growing by X% per period then it will double approximately

double in the next 64 days?
a. 8 times so about 56,000 people would be infected
b. 1.125 times so about 15,000 people would be infected
c. 1.125 times so about 8,000 people would be infected

Please read the description and identify which region the text is referring to.
Historically, this region has suffered from extreme poverty, which continues
to this day. Growth has been effectively zero since the 1960s. Problems such
as political instability, poor public health, and a lack of effective institutions
have all contributed to its stagnation.
Until the middle of the last century, these countries were relatively poor.
Beginning in the mid 1970s, real GDP per capita growth has averaged 6% per
year. The growth was achieved, in part, because of high levels of
investment spending in the development of human and physical capital, and
rapid technological progress.
In the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and
economic reform. Countries in this region have experienced variable growth
