country as net growth rate in 1980 was per 1000.
(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Identify the given values

We need to find Country A's net growth rate in 1980.
From the table, for Country A in 1980:

• Birth Rate per 1000: \(14.2\)
• Death Rate per 1000: \(11.7\)

Apply the net growth rate formula

The net growth rate due to births and deaths is calculated by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate:

$$ \text{Net Growth Rate} = \text{Birth Rate} - \text{Death Rate} $$

Calculate the final value

Substitute the values for Country A in 1980:

$$ \text{Net Growth Rate} = 14.2 - 11.7 = 2.5 $$

Answer:

Country A's net growth rate in 1980 was <blank>2.5</blank> per 1000.
