Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Number of Green jobs in Hawaii (2010) = 11,145 ; equivalent to 2.4% of total private employment
Projected increase by 26% between 2011 and 2012
(a) How many total jobs were there in the private sector in Hawaii in 2010?
2.4% = 11,145
100% = x
0.024x = 11,145
x = 11,145 / 0.024
x = 464,375
Total private employment in Hawaii (2010) = 464,375
B) How many green jobs in the private sector were expected by 2012?
Projected increase in green jobs by 26%
Present number of green jobs = 2.4%
Hence, by 2012, the total percentage = (26+2.4)% = 28.4%
2.4% = 11,145
28.4% = x
0.024x = (0.284 × 11,145)
0.024x = 3165.18
x = 3165.18 / 0.024
x = 131,882.5
(C) If the overall job market was projected to increase by 4.3%, what percentage of total private-sector jobs was projected to be green by 2012?
Increase of 4.3% in overall job market :
104.3% × 464,375
1.043 × 464,375 = 484,343.125
Percentage projected to be green by 2012:
(Projected number of green jobs in 2012 / projected number of total employment) × 100%
(131,882.5 / 484,343.125) × 100%
0.2722914 × 100% = 27.23%
