Full Question:

If the number of unemployed persons in a country equals 24 million, the number of employed persons equals 8 million, and the number of persons over age 16 in the population equals 40 million, the unemployment rate equals:

a. 18%

b. 25%

c. 32%

d. 75%

Answer:

The correct answer is D) 75%                                                                            

Explanation:

Step 1:

The formula for unemployment rate is:

Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed Persons / Labor Force) x 100

<u>The labor force is the sum of unemployed and employed persons</u>. By dividing the number of individuals whom are unemployed by labor force, you'll find the labor force participation, or unemployment rate.

Step 2

Therefore:

The labor force is arrived at by adding:

24 Million and 8 Million.

(24,000,000 + 8,000,000) = 32 Million

Step 3:

If number of unemployed persons is given as 24 Million, therefore

Unemployment rate = (24,000,000/32,000,000) x 100

Unemployment rate =   75%

Cheers!
