A country has a natural increase rate of 1.5 percent and a net migration rate of negative 0.4 percent. What is the total growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1.1 percent

The correct answer is B: 1.1 percent. Total growth rate is the sum of natural increase and net migration. Since net migration is negative, calculate 1.5 + (−0.4) = 1.1 percent, or equivalently 1.5 − 0.4 = 1.1 percent. Option A gives only the magnitude of the migration rate and ignores natural increase. Option B correctly combines both rates with their signs. Option C would be correct only if migration were positive 0.4 percent, not negative. Option D adds the figures incorrectly and does not represent the stated components. The result remains positive because natural increase is larger than the migration loss. Memory cue: preserve the sign of migration before adding rates.
