If births are 900, deaths are 600, and net migration is 200, what is the total population change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 500

Total population change has two parts: natural increase and net migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. Net migration is added when more people enter than leave, and it is subtracted when migration is negative. In this case, births exceed deaths by 300, and another 200 people are added through positive net migration. Therefore, the population increases by 500, so choice C is correct.

Calculate natural increase first: \(900-600=300\). Then include net migration: \(300+200=500\). Thus the total change is a gain of 500 people, not merely 300. Adding births, deaths, and migration without considering their signs would give an incorrect result such as 1700. Deaths reduce population, whereas births and positive net migration increase it.
