A natural increase rate of 20 per thousand is approximately equal to what percentage?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2 percent

A rate expressed per thousand tells how many units occur out of 1,000. A percentage tells how many occur out of 100. Since 1,000 is ten times 100, converting a per-thousand value to a percentage requires dividing the number by 10, or equivalently multiplying by 100 and dividing by 1,000.

For 20 per thousand, the calculation is \(20/1000\times100=2\) percent. Thus a natural increase rate of 20 per thousand is equal to 2 percent, making option C correct. The value is not 20 percent: 20 per thousand means 20 out of 1,000, whereas 20 percent means 20 out of 100 and is ten times larger.
