The U.S. Department of Labor stated that the national unemployment rate was 4.9%. Of a sample of 90 people in one city, 5.2% were unemployed. Can the city conclude that their unemployment rate is the same as the national average?

I am confused here that 5.2% of city unemployed people =90

I know how to solve it the rest but For proportion of the sample I need more clarification

"Of a sample of 90 people in one city, 5.2% were unemployed"

because how I understood was

in the sample 5.2% of 90 people were unemployed
