Answer:
34091 dollars per person
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to answer the question, you have to divide the amount of debt by the amount of population to obtain the amount of dollars per person.
The debt was $10.5 trillion. A trillion is a thousand billion (1000 multiplied by a billion which is [tex]10^{9}[/tex] in scientific notation)
1000=[tex]10^{3}[/tex]
One trillion is [tex](10^{3})(10^{9})=10^{12}[/tex]
The debt is: $ 10.5 x [tex]10^{12}[/tex]
The population is scientific notation is: 308.0 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex]
Dividing the amount of debt by the amount of population:
[tex]\frac{(10.5)(10^{12})}{(308.0)(10^{6})}=\frac{(10.5)(10^{12-6})}{308.0}=\frac{(10.5)(10^{6})}{308.0}[/tex]
Simplifying and expressing it in standard notation:
34090.9 dollars per person
Rounding to the nearest dollar:
34091 dollars per person.
