Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

In 2016 , total jobs in country $X=4125$

$\because 27.5 \% = 4125$

$\therefore 100 \% = \frac{4125 \times 100}{27.5}=$ 15000 $=$ Total jobs in 2016

$\therefore$ Total jobs in 2013 $=15000 \times \frac{3}{5}=900$

$\therefore$ Total jobs in country Z in 2013 $=\frac{9000 \times 17.5}{100}=1575$
