this gives the growth rate of the population difference between birth and death rate. BR-DR=NI

Natural decrease
this when the population is decreasing. the death rate exceeds the birth rate. BR - DR = the answer will be negative

this is the difference between BR and DR expressed as a percentage. so therefore it must be divide by 10. BR - DR divide by 10
