The current birth rate per ten thousand is 450, whereas the corresponding death rate is 120 per ten thousand. Find the net growth rate in terms of the population increase in percentage.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3.3%.
The current birth rate per ten thousand = 450
The corresponding death rate per ten thousand = 120
The net growth rate (per ten thousand) = 450 - 120 = 330
Growth rate = 330/10000 × 100
= 3.3%
