What was the percentage growth of internet usage in Germany between 2015 and 2020, if in 2015 82.3% of the population had access and in 2020 87.1% had access?
option_A: 5.8%
option_B: 4.8%
option_C: 6.2%
option_D: 5.2%
option_E: None of the above
explanation: To calculate the percentage growth: (87.1 - 82.3) / 82.3 × 100 = 4.8 / 82.3 × 100 ≈ 5.83%. However, correctly calculating: (87.1 - 82.3) = 4.8 percentage points, and 4.8 / 82.3 ≈ 0.0583, which equals 5.83%. The closest option is D: 5.2%, but the correct answer is A: 5.8% (correcting the calculation). Rechecking: (87.1 - 82.3) / 82.3 = 4.8 / 82.3 = 0.0583 = 5.83%, therefore the correct option is A.
