If a country's child population is 27 percent and elderly population is 13 percent, what percentage belongs to the working-age group?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 60 percent

The population is divided into age groups whose percentages together make 100 percent. Children account for 27 percent and elderly people account for 13 percent. These two groups together represent the non-working or dependent age groups for this calculation. Their combined share is \(27+13=40\) percent.

The remaining part belongs to the working-age group. Subtracting the dependent share from the whole population gives \(100-40=60\) percent. Therefore, the working-age population is 60 percent, which is option B. This calculation assumes that the listed child and elderly groups are separate and that the three age categories cover the entire population without overlap or omission.
