Question

In a particular area where the annual death rate is 35 per 1000 individuals and the annual birth rate is 15, population growth would be


-20%


-2%


0%


2%


20%

Answer 1

To find a percent, divide the part by the whole, and multiply by 100.
Since 15 babies are born and 35 people die per 1000, the part is 15 - 35.
The whole is 1000.

(15 - 35)/1000 * 100
