Sure, let's solve the word problem related to calculating the absolute growth of a population.

Answer
The absolute growth of the population is 130 individuals.
Solution
a
Identify the given values: immigrants = 100, emigrants = 20, births = 90, deaths = 40
b
Calculate the net migration: Net migration=immigrantsemigrants=10020=80 \text{Net migration} = \text{immigrants} - \text{emigrants} = 100 - 20 = 80
c
Calculate the natural increase: Natural increase=birthsdeaths=9040=50 \text{Natural increase} = \text{births} - \text{deaths} = 90 - 40 = 50
d
Calculate the absolute growth: Absolute growth=Net migration+Natural increase=80+50=130 \text{Absolute growth} = \text{Net migration} + \text{Natural increase} = 80 + 50 = 130
Key Concept
Absolute growth of a population
Explanation
Absolute growth is calculated by summing the net migration and the natural increase. Net migration is the difference between the number of immigrants and emigrants, while natural increase is the difference between the number of births and deaths.
