Correct Answer: (1)
Solution: (1) In 2016 , total jobs in country $X=4125$
$\because 27.5 \% \equiv 4125$
$\therefore 100 \% \equiv \frac{4125}{27.5}=$
15,000
$=$ Total jobs in 2016
$\therefore$ Total jobs in 2013
$=15000 \times \frac{3}{5}=900$
$\therefore$ Total jobs in country Z in 2013
$=\frac{9000 \times 17.5}{100}=1575$
