The percentage of employed youth in state A = \(\frac{10.5}{12}\) × 100% = 87.5%

The percentage of employed youth in state B = \(\frac{7}{8}\) × 100% = 87.5%

The percentage of employed youth in state C = \(\frac{10}{11.5}\) × 100% = 86.95%

The percentage of employed youth in state D = \(\frac{7.5}{10}\) × 100% = 75% ←

The percentage of employed youth in state E = \(\frac{8}{9}\) × 100% = 88.88%
