Hi there! I can help you with this! 10^8 is 100,000,000. That number times 3.08 is 308,000,000. 10^12 is 1,000,000,000,000. That number times 9.06 is 9,060,000,000,000. The U.S. public debt is $9.06 trillion. Now, let’s divide that debt by the number of people in the U.S. When you do, you get 29,415.5844 and other numbers behind it or 29,415.58 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The average U.S. public debt per American in 2010 was about $29,415.58.
