A

5.63 trillion=5.63 million, million

how much per person is
282.4 million
(5.63million, million)/(282.4 million)=(5.63 million)/(282.4)= (5,630,000)/(282.4)=19936.2
round
$19,936 per person


B same thing

7.91 trillion=7.91 million, million

how much per person is
296.9 million
(7.91million, million)/(296.9 million)=(7.91 million)/(296.9)= (7,910,000)/(296.9)=26641.9
round to nearest dollar
$26642




C. increase from
19,936 to 26,642

26,642-19,936=6706

.336/1 times 100/100=33.6/100=33.6%
