Respuesta :

Answer:

The population growth rate is of 1.86%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population growth rate:

Immigration plus births subtracted by emigration and deaths.

In this question, we have that:

Birth: 14.3 per 1000

Death: 11.8 per 1000

Immigrations: 21.6 per 1000

Emigrations: 5.5 per 1000

Rate:

[tex]\frac{14.3 + 21.6 - 11.8 - 5.5}{1000} = \frac{18.6}{1000} = 0.0186[/tex]

As a percentage:

Multiply by 100%. So

0.0186*100% = 1.86%

The population growth rate is of 1.86%.
