Answer:

Unemployment rate = 4.55%

Explanation:

We know,

Unemployment rate = Number of unemployed people in a country ÷ Total labor force.

Given,

Number of unemployed people in a country = 10 million

Labor force = Number of unemployed people in a country + Number of employed people in a country

Therefore, Labor force = 10 million + 210 million = 220 million

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

Unemployment rate = (10 million ÷ 220 million) × 100

Unemployment rate = 0.04545 × 100

Unemployment rate = 4.55%

Based on the information given the unemployment rate is 4.76%.

Using this formula

Unemployment rate=Unemployed/Labor force×100

Where:

Unemployed=10 million

Labor force=300 million-80 million=220 million

Let plug in the formula

Unemployed rate=10 million/(300 million-80 million)×100

Unemployed rate=10 million/220 million×100

Unemployed rate=4.545%

Unemployed rate=4.55% (Approximately)

Inconclusion  the unemployment rate is 4.76%.
