To find the percentage of unemployed people in Great Britain in 1933, given that out of 13 million people available for work, 3 million were unemployed, follow these steps:
1. Determine the total number of people available for work and the number of unemployed people:
- Total people available for work = 13 million
- Unemployed people = 3 million
2. Calculate the percentage of people who were unemployed:
- Use the formula for percentage: [tex]\(\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Unemployed people}}{\text{Total people available for work}}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]
- Substitute the given numbers into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{3,000,000}{13,000,000}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{3,000,000}{13,000,000} = 0.23076923076923076
\][/tex]
4. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
[tex]\[
0.23076923076923076 \times 100 = 23.076923076923077
\][/tex]
5. Round the result to the nearest whole number:
[tex]\[
23.076923076923077 \approx 23
\][/tex]
Therefore, the percentage of unemployed people in Great Britain in 1933 was approximately 23%.
