To calculate the divorce rate:
\[ DR = \left( \frac{D}{M} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
A divorce rate is a statistical measure that represents the number of divorces that occur annually, typically expressed as a ratio or percentage of the total population or married population. It is used to gauge the prevalence of divorce in a specific region, country, or globally, and can be influenced by various factors such as changes in law, societal norms, economic conditions, and more. High divorce rates often indicate a society where ending marriages is more socially acceptable or common, while low rates may suggest the opposite.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ DR = \left( \frac{500}{2000} \right) \times 100 = 25 \]
The Divorce Rate is 25%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ DR = \left( \frac{300}{1500} \right) \times 100 = 20 \]
The Divorce Rate is 20%.
