Problem: the annual birth and death rate in a country per 1000 are 39.4 and 19.4 respectively . the number of years q in which the population would be doubled assuming there is no emigration or immigration is
Rationale: suppose the population of the country in current year is 1000 . so annual increase is 1000 + 39.4 - 19.4 = 1020 hence every year there is an increase of 2 % . 2000 = 1000 ( 1 + ( 2 / 100 ) ) ^ n n = 35 answer is d
annotated_formula: divide(subtract(const_100, multiply(const_10, const_3)), multiply(divide(subtract(39.4, 19.4), 1000), const_100))
