Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of natural increase is calculated by subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate. So, in this case, it would be 35-10=25 per 1,000. The answer is not B) 45 per 1,000 or D) 45%, as that would be the sum of both the birth rate and death rate, not the rate of natural increase. It is also not C) 25%, as that would be a percentage increase, not a numerical increase in population size.
