The government of a foreign country has recently decided to give a tax rebate to each of its adult citizens. The total amount the government can spend on the program is the equivalent of $5 × 1011. If the adult population of the country is approximately 2.29 × 108, what is a good estimate of the amount of money each person will receive (in dollars)?

Respuesta :

Given :

The government of a foreign country has recently decided to give a tax rebate to each of its adult citizens.

The total amount the government can spend on the program is the equivalent of [tex]\$(5 \times 10^{11})[/tex]. If the adult population of the country is approximately [tex]2.29 \times 10^8[/tex].

To Find :

A good estimate of the amount of money each person will receive (in dollars).

Solution :

[tex]\text{Amount per person}= \dfrac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Number of people}}\\\\A =\dfrac{5\times 10^{11}}{2.29\times 10^8}\\\\A = \$2183.406[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
