Answer:

(c) 28.5 million

Explanation:

Calculating the labor force in the country:

the labor force is 60% of the total population.

Labor force = 60%× 50, 000 000 = 30 million.

The unemployment rate is calculated as:

n = No. of unemployed people ÷ Labor force

Given the unemployment rate is 0.05, the number of people unemployed is equal to:

0.05 = No. of unemployed people ÷ 30

Therefore, No. of unemployed people =

0.05 × 30 = 1, 500, 000

Thus, the number of employed people is equal to:

Employed people = Labor force - Unemployed people

Employed people = 30,000,000 - 1,500,000 = 2,850,000

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Positive ROI

Explanation:

Education is probably the best investment that someone can make. It is not easy and it is not nice, but it can help you have a better life and better future.

In this case, Luis spent money in order to get his certificate in repairing air conditioners. He studied 6 months and probably took a test to pass it. After passing it, he owes money which is not good. But the great part is that Luis is now earning much more money than before. His better salary will allow him to pay his loan in 2 years, which is a a short time. Imagine if you could pay your college loans in just 2 years (the average time is 20 years).
