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 $5.69 × 1011. If the adult population of the country is approximately 2.81 × 108, what is a good estimate of the amount of money each person will receive (in dollars)?
A.
$1,598.89
B.
$2,024.91
C.
$202.49
D.
$20,249.11
To find a good estimate of the amount of money each person will receive, divide the total amount the government can spend by the adult population of the country:
$5.69 × 10^11 / 2.81 × 10^8 ≈ $2024.91
Therefore, a good estimate of the amount of money each person will receive is $2024.91.
The answer is (B) $2,024.91.
