Question

at the end of a year, the gross debt of a country stood at about $19 trillion. express this amount in dollars per person, assuming that the population of the country is about 292 million.

the gross debt is about $□ per person
(type a whole number. round to the nearest hundred as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert values to standard form

$19 \text{ trillion} = 19,000,000,000,000$; $292 \text{ million} = 292,000,000$

Step2: Calculate debt per person

$\text{Debt per person} = \frac{19,000,000,000,000}{292,000,000}$

Step3: Simplify and round to nearest hundred

$\frac{19,000,000}{292} \approx 65068.49$, rounded to nearest hundred is $65100$

Answer:

$65100$
