Answer:

The answer is "4200"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file:

Calculating the variable cost in km:

= \frac{(105,000 \times 0.114 - 70,000 \times 0.134)}{(35,000)} \\\\ = \frac{(11,970 - 9,380)}{(35,000)} \\\\ = \frac{2,590}{(35,000)} \\\\ =0.074

Calculating the fixed cost:

= (105,000 \times 0.114) - (105,000 \times 0.074) \\\\ = (11,970) - (7,770) \\\\=4,200

The table below reports the total population in a country and the number of people in different groups as below:Total population
weqwewe [10]

The unemployment rate in this population is 12%

First of all we have to find the total labour force in this country

Children less than 18 + people in the military + people in jail + retirees + marginally attached workers + full time students

= 50million + 15million + 30 million + 10 million + 30 million + 20

= 155 million

Labor force = 280million - 155 million

= 125 million

In this population those working full time and part time are the number of those that are employed.

= 30 million + 80 million

= 110 million

The unemployed = 125 million - 110 million

= 15million

The unemployment rate =

\frac{Unemployed}{LaborForce} \\=\frac{15}{125}

= 0.12

The unemployment rate = 12%
