Question

The national debt of a small country is $7,750,000,000 and the population is 2,195,000. What is the amount of debt per person?

Answer 1

To find the amount of debt per person, we divide the national debt by the population.

$7,750,000,000 / 2,195,000 = $3,532.07

So the amount of debt per person is approximately $3,532.07.
