Answer: 15 million people were employed.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the adult population (25,000,000) by the labor-force participation percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

25,000,000 x (60/100) = 25,000,000 x 0.6 = 15,000,000 people

15 million people were employed.
