Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider the given table.

We have to find the percentage of people married in each of the given years.

The percentage of adult population that was married in 1990 is given by

Percentage=112.3187.8×100=59.79%

Hence, the percentage of adult population that was married in 1990 was 59.79%.

Now, the percentage of adult population that was married in 1997 is given by

Percentage=120.9207.3×100=58.32%

Hence, the percentage of adult population that was married in 1997 was 58.32%.
