Answer:

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

Explanation:

When the nominal wage rate is $10 and the CPI is 200

The real wage rate

= [Nominal wage rate ÷ CPI in 2017 ] × 100

= [ $10 ÷ 210 ] × 100

= $4.76

Now,

The change in the real wage rate between 2016 and 2017

= [ ( 4.76 - $5.00 ) ÷ $5.00 ] × 100

= - 0.048 ≈ -0.05 or - 5 percent

here, negative sign means decrease

Hence,

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

For February:

= ($117,180) ÷ ($390,600) × 100

In a survey of a group of people, it was found that 60 0f them have
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

i) 15  ii) 177

Explanation:

Number of people with business = 60

Number of people with farming = 125

Number of people with government jobs = 45

Number of people with business only = 27

Number of people with government jobs only = 15

10 have business and government  job only, 5 have government job and farming only.

i) Let x represent the number of people with all three jobs. Hence:

Number of people with government jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with government and farming job + number of people with government and business + number of people with government job only

45 = x + 10 + 5 + 15

45 = x + 30

x = 15

15 people have all three profession.

ii)

Number of people with business jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and business + number of people with business job only

60 = 15 + number of people with business and farming job + 10 + 27

number of people with business and farming job = 60 - 52 = 8

Number of people with farming jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and farming + number of people with farming job only

125 = 15 + 8 + 5 + number of people with farming job only

number of people with farming job only = 125 - 28 = 97

Number of people surveyed = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and farming + number of people with farming job only +  number of people with government and business + number of people with business job only + number of people with government job only

Number of people surveyed = 15 + 8 + 5 + 97 + 10 + 27 + 15

Number of people surveyed = 177
