To find the amount of debt per person, we need to first figure out the amount of people based on the information we have:
Since the population of the United States in 2005 was 10^8, we can simplify this exponent into
10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10
Which is 100,000,000.
Now, we need to divide this by 10 trillion, or 10,000,000,000,000.
100,000,000 / 10,000,000,000,000 = 0.00001
Or roughly 0.001 of a cent per person.
Hope this helps!
