Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to divide the national debt ($\$ 7,370,000,000$) by the population ($2,662,000$) to get the debt per person.

$\dfrac{\$ 7,370,000,000}{2,662,000} = \$ 2,766.93$

This is in dollars, and we are asked to express the answer in scientific notation, rounded to one decimal place.

$\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ \$ 2.8 \times 10 ^ { 3 }}$
