A scaled number is a numerical value that has been adjusted or normalized to account for differences that might influence interpretation or comparison. GDP per capita is a scaled number because it divides the GDP by the population, giving a measure of the economic output per person, and it accounts for differences in the size of the population. The other options are absolute measures that do not consider differences in the size of the population or the distribution of income/expenditures, and they are not scaled.
