O d. 56.25%.

Answer 1

Answer: 56.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate refers to the active workforce of a country. The following information can be derived from the question:

Adult population = 3200

Number of employed = 1600

Number of unemployed = 200

The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 will be:

= {(Number of employed + Number of unemployed) / Adult population} × 100

= (1600 + 200) / 3200 × 100

= 1800/3200 × 100

= 0.5625 × 100

= 56.25%
