The U.S. public debt as of october 2010 was $9.06 * 10^12. What was the average U.S. public debt per american if the population in 2010 was 3.08 * 10^8 people?

Respuesta :

we have to divide the debt by the population. We get

[tex]\frac{9.06\cdot10^{12}}{3.08\cdot10^8}=\frac{9.06}{3.08}\cdot10^4=2.94\cdot10^4[/tex]
