Suppose a country has a real GDP per capita of $68,000 and grows at a constant rate for the next 36 years. How much larger (in percentage terms) is this country if its growth rate is 4.33% instead of 3.13% after 36 years of growth? Answer this as a percentage and round your answer to two digits after the decimal without the percentage sign. ex. If you found the rate to be 5.125%, answer 5.13.
