What is the population growth rate in 2003?
- 33.3%
- 20.0%
- 11.0%
-
50%
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Population growth rate = the difference between the previous year population and the current year population divided by the previous year
2002 population = 40,000
2003 population = 60,000
60,000 - 40,000 ÷ 40,000 x 100
\(\frac{20,000}{40,000}\) x 100 = 50%
