An island reports that in the year 2000 there were 240 babies born. That same year, 100 individuals died. What is the growth rate for this island?(Show your work and indicate if it is positive or negative.)

+ 140

Explanation:

You can show the natural growth rate by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate during one year and converting this into a percentage.

Here it would be:

240 - 100 = + 140

// if you want to convert it to percentage, you need to know the size of the population

it would be

140 / (population size) * 100 %
