    Solution

    Total participants = 200.  Number of women = 60% of 200 = 120.  Number of employed women = 50% of 120 = 60.  Number of men = 40% of 200 = 80.  Number of employed men = 70% of 80 = 56.  Total employed participants = 60 + 56 = 116.  Percentage of employed participants = (116 / 200) × 100 = 58%.  The percentage of employed participants is 58%.
