We have been given an equation $34k+(6.3-8.1k)\div 0.9=22$ . We are supposed to solve our given equation for k.

We can rewrite our given equation as:

$34k+\frac{6.3-8.1k}{0.9}=22$

Let us multiply both sides of equation by 0.9.

$34k\cdot 0.9+\frac{6.3-8.1k}{0.9}\cdot 0.9=22\cdot 0.9$

$30.6k+6.3-8.1k=19.8$

$22.5k+6.3=19.8$

$22.5k+6.3-6.3=19.8-6.3$

$22.5k=13.5$

$\frac{22.5k}{22.5}=\frac{13.5}{22.5}$

$k=0.6$

Therefore, the value of the k is 0.6.

The graphs below are based on government data on unemployment for 2017.

You already got the first two questions right: the group with the highest number of people unemployed / unemployment rate is the one with the highest bar in the respective histogram.

The two graph are related in this sense: take the first age group as reference. We know that 700 people from 16 to 19 are unemployed, and that those people represent 14% of the population, then we know that the 14% of the population between 16 and 19 is 700.

We can deduce that, if x is the number of people between 16 and 19, we have

$\dfrac{14}{100}x=700 \iff \dfrac{7}{50}x=700 \iff \dfrac{x}{50}=100 \iff x=5000$
