Question

The town of Billburg has a population of 5000 people.

In the year 2019, there are 96 babies born and 58 people die. 72 people move to Billburg for jobs or retirement, while 81 high schoolers graduate and move away.



Find the growth rate of Billburg, using the equation r = (n+i) - (m+e) / population

Answer 1

r = (n+i) - (m+e) / population

n = birth of babies

i = immigration population

m = death of old people

e = emigrants moving away from the society

r = (96+72) - (58+81) / 5000

= (29/5000) * 100

= 0.58 %
