Last year, a country's GDP was $⁢1.5 trillion. This year, it is $⁢1.7 trillion. What is the country's GDP growth rate?

GDP growth rate is the change in GDP divided by last year’s GDP, multiplied by 100. The increase was $1.7 trillion − $1.5 trillion = $0.2 trillion, so ($0.2 ÷ $1.5) × 100 ≈ 13.3%. The correct choice is 13.3 percent.
