Answer:
The country has an annual growth rate of 0.2%.
Explanation:
If the country has 84,000 births and 55,000 deaths per year, as well as 24,000 people who immigrate to the country and 5,000 people who migrate abroad, the gross annual population growth is 48,000 people (84,000 - 55,000 + 24,000 - 5,000).
Now, to determine what percentage this growth implies, the following cross-calculation must be performed:
23,000,000 = 100
48,000 = X
((48,000 x 100) / 23,000,000) = X
0.2 = X
Thus, the country has an annual growth rate of 0.2%.
