Question

You are working on an urban planning project assessing the growth of a city, Five years ago, the population was

134,785 The current population is 192,560 Which calculation is appropriate to perform first when determining the
growth rate of the city?

Answer 1

To calculate growth rate, start by subtracting the past value from the current value. The answer would be D.

Explanation:

The "population growth rate" is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period, expressed as a fraction of the initial population. Population growth is based on four fundamental factors: birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration.

Annual Growth Rate of Population refers to the rate at which the number of individuals in a given popular increase over a year, expressed as a fraction of the initial popular of the previous years. The annual percentage growth rate of population is the percent growth divided by the number of years.

Answer 2

Calculation that is appropriate to perform first when determining the

growth rate of the city is 192,560 - 134,785.

The difference between the current population and the population five years ago is 57,775.

192,560 - 134,785 = 57,775

The difference between the current population and the population five years ago is 57,775. This difference represents the change in population over the given period.
