How much money would each person owe if the national debt were evenly distributed among all living people in the United States? I need to figure out what the individual share's would be for each situation. The second number is the population (the space in between the two numbers)
National Debt in Billions / U.S. Population in Millions / Individual Share
1. 259.....................140
Debt per person = 259*10^9/(140*10^6) = 1.85*10^3 = $1850 per person
2. 930.................... 227
Debt per person = 950*10^9/(225*10^6) = 4.22*10^3 = $4220 per person
