You can put this solution on YOUR website! working people= w
retired people= x
w=4*x
For example, there are 10 retired people. The number of working people is four times the number of retired people, which is 40.
w=4*x
40= 4*10

unemployed people=u
u=*x
For example, there are 10 retired people. The number of unemployed people is half the number of retired people, which is 5.
