Answer:

1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The real GDP is given by the nominal GDP divided by the GDP deflator, the real GDP for year 1 and year 2, respectively, were:

[tex]GDP_1=\frac{2250}{0.72}\\GDP_1=\$3,125\ billion\\\\GDP_2=\frac{2,508}{0.79}\\GDP_2=\$3,174.68\ billion[/tex]

The percentage change in GDP is:

[tex]P=\frac{3,174.68-3,125}{3,125}\\ P=0.016=1.6\%[/tex]

Between year 1 and year 2, real GDP rose by 1.6%.
