Answer: The dolphin's population growth is 150% .

Step-by-step explanation:

The birth rate of dolphins =
2.0=(2.0* 100)/(100)=200\%

The death rate of the dolphins =
0.5=(0.5* 100)/(100)=50\%

Dolphin's population growth = Birth rate - Death rate

=
200\%-50\%=150\%

The dolphin's population growth is 150%.
