Answer:

[tex](1)1.8X10^{13}\\(2)3.2X10^8\\(3)5.625X10^4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Federal Debt=18 trillion dollars.

=18,000,000,000,000

[tex]=1.8X10^{13[/tex]

2. Population =320 million people.

=320,000,000

[tex]=3.2X10^8[/tex]

3. Federal Debt Per Capita

Debt Per Capita =Debt/Population

Therefore:

Federal Debt Per Capita

[tex]=\dfrac{1.8X10^{13}}{3.2X10^8}\\=0.5625X10^{13-8}\\=0.5625X10^5\\=5.625X10^4[/tex]
