    (Initial individuals + newborn individuals) - dead individuals = total individuals

    Growth rate = (total individuals/initial individuals) * 100

    Population growth rate = new percentage minus 100%

    Calculations

    (1000 + 500) - 200 = 1500 - 200 = 1300

    Growth rate = (1300 / 1000) * 100

    = 1.3 * 100

    = 130%

    Population growth rate = 130% - 100%

    = 30% per year if it is uniform
