During one year, eight turtles are born into a population. Ten turtles immigrate into the population, but two emigrate to find mates.

If the overall population growth is nine turtles, what was the death rate of turtles during the year?

Use this formula:
population growth = (birth rate + immigration) – (death rate + emigration)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the growth rate, you simply subtract the death rate from the birth rate. In this case, the growth rate (r) of the emperor penguin population in Antarctica is 0.3 – 0.1 = 0.2 new individuals per existing individual, per year.
