Question

What is the city’s annual population growth

Answer 1

Annual population growth rate:

0.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population increases due to births by 25 people

and decreases due to deaths by 17 people

per 1,000 people (assuming the net number of people moving into and out of the city is zero)

then

for every 1,000 people the population will increase by

25−17=8 people.

As a percentage growth rate:

XXX 81,000=0.8 1000. 8%
