If births are 1,200, deaths are 700, and net migration is negative 200, what will be the total growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 300

Direct answer: A, 300. Population change can be found by adding natural increase and net migration. Natural increase equals births minus deaths: 1,200 - 700 = 500. Net migration is negative 200, which means migration causes a loss of 200 people, so it must be subtracted: 500 + (-200) = 300. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because 500 is only the natural increase and ignores negative migration. Option C is wrong because it does not follow the population-change formula. Option D is wrong because adding births and deaths is not the correct method; deaths reduce population rather than increase it. The sign of migration is important: positive migration adds people, while negative migration removes people. Memory cue: total growth = births - deaths + net migration.
