Hello!
If a constant annual growth rate of GDP is known, the rule of 70 gives an approximation of how many years n it will take to double GDP. Specifically,
As you understand, actually take the natural logarithm of both sides and obtain
or
For small
's it is approximately
In our problem, so GDP will double after about
years. It will double
times, i.e. will be multiplied by
After that, and GDP will double after about
years. Thus GDP will double
times and will be also multiplied by
The combined growth will be times (using the 70 rule). Actually it will be
times.
Growth by 64 times is the same as growth by = 6300%. This is the answer.
