The nation of Finlandia has 120,000 people. Of these, 20,000 are children under 16, 72,000 have jobs, 8,000 don't have jobs but

stepan [7]

Answer: labor force participation rate =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

$\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}$

i.e. $\text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}$

$= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%$

The unemployment rate is computed as:

$\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%$

Hence, labor force participation rate =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

RS = 4x – 9, ST = 19, RT = 80 – 14 Equation: 82 – 14 RS RT

algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions are not properly written

Given

RS = 4x – 9

ST = 19

RT = 8x – 14

Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true

RS+ST = RT

Substitute

4x-9+19 = 8x-14

collect like terms

4x-8x = -14-19+9

-4x = -33+9

-4x = -24

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Get RS:

RS = 4x-9

RS = 4(6)- 9

RS = 24-9

RS = 15

Get RT:

RT = 8x - 14

RT = 8(6)-14

RT = 48-14

RT = 34

1) Miguel has a gift card to an electronics store. He has $ 150 on the card. He purchased a DVD for $ 20 and some games for $12.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

9 games

Step-by-step explanation:

If he purchase 1 game, he spent $12.50. If he purchased 2 games, he spent 2(12.50) = $25.

This means he spent 12.5x for x number of games.

His total spending will be 12.5x + 20. He has $17.50 left on the card from $150.

150 - (12.5x + 20) = 17.5

150 - 12.5x -20 = 17.5

130 - 12.5x = 17.5

-12.5x = 17.5 - 130

-12.5x = -112.5

x = 9
