Answer:
Option d.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total employment for sheet metal workers in 2016 is projected to be = 201,000
This is a 6.3% increase from 2006.
Let the number of workers in 2006 be n
n + (6.3% of n) = 201,000
n + ( 0.063n) = 201,000
1.063n = 201,000
n = [tex]\frac{201,000}{1.063}[/tex]
n = 189,087. 4882 ≈ 189,000
the total employment in 2006 was approximately 189,000
Option d is the answer.
