X is what percentage of Y is the formula = X/Y*100

we say X=Ohio unemployment is 307000
Y=6.5 m is 6500000

(307000/6500000)*100 = 0.047*100 = 4.7%

the question aks for

what percent is 307,000 over 6.5 millions 6,5000,000

307,000/6,500,000= 0.047

This is expressed in terms of %

0.047 * 100 = 4.7

B is the answer
