If an area has 700 births and 950 deaths, what will natural change be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decrease of 250

Correct answer: B, a decrease of 250. Natural change is found by subtracting deaths from births: 700 − 950 = −250. The negative sign means that deaths exceed births by 250, so the area experiences a natural decrease of 250 people during the stated period. Step 1: compare the two numbers. Step 2: calculate the difference, 950 − 700 = 250. Step 3: because deaths are the larger number, describe the result as a decrease, not an increase. Option A is wrong because it gives the right difference but the wrong direction. Option B is correct because it gives both the amount and direction. Option C is wrong because adding births and deaths does not calculate natural change. Option D is wrong because the two numbers are not equal. Migration is not included unless the question asks for total population change. Memory cue: when deaths exceed births, natural change is negative.
