Question

2. Using the formula:

[[(Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)] / total population] x 100 to get the percentage.
What is the growth rate of Schoolville?
Births = 731
Immigration = 563
Deaths = 201
Emigration =974
Total Population = 5,976

Answer 1

The growth rate of Schoolville is -14.73%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the growth rate of Schoolville, we can use the formula:

growth rate = [(Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)] / Total Population x 100

Substituting the given values, we have:

growth rate = [(731 + 563) - (201 + 974)] / 5976 x 100

Simplifying the equation gives us:

growth rate = (294 - 1175) / 5976 x 100

Which further simplifies to:

growth rate = -881 / 5976 x 100

Finally, calculating the value gives us:

growth rate = -14.73%
