Answer 1

Answer:

14,080,000  were unemployed

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that  8% of the population were unemployed out of 176,000,000 people who were willing to work

We will  find 8% of the population of  176,000,000  which is

$176,000,000\cdot \frac{8}{100}$

$\Rightarrow 176,000,0\cdot 8$

$\Rightarrow 14,080,000$

The number of people who were unemployed out of those who were willing to work is  14,080,000

Answer 2

Take 176000000 and multiply by 8% (or 0.08)

176000000 * 0.08 = 14,080,000 unemployed
