From class we learned that in 2010 the federal debt (in millions) was $13,561,623 and the population of the U.S. was 309 million. Use this information to compute the federal debt per capita in 2010.
Well, it's straightforward. Just divide the the national debt by the population:
($13,561,623 X 10^6) / (3.09 X 10^8)
=$43,888.75 This is the federal debt per capita.
