A certain country had a total annual expenditure of $1.2 x 10^11 last year. If the population of the country was 240 million last year, what was the per capita expenditure?	Choose the correct choice:
A) $ 500
B) $1,000
C) $2,000
D) $3,000
E) $5,000
Total expenditure / Population = per capita expenditure   Hence, (1,2 x 10^11) / 240 000 000 = (12 x 10^10) / (2,4 x 10^8) = 5 x 10^(10-8) =   5 x 10^2 = 500.   $ 500nswer is $ 500.
