Explanation / Answer

Percent of adults ages 25 and over in the nation who are not in the labor force have some college education but no degree = Percent having some college education but no degree and is not in labor force / Percentage of who are not in labor force

= 7.3 / (11.1 + 23.8 + 7.3 + 11.9) x 100

= 7.3/54.1 x 100

= 13.49%
