Answer 1

Sweden's per capita is greater than China.

Explanation:

To calculate GDP per capita, we will divide the country's gross domestic product by its population.

The gross domestic product of China was $5,739 billion and population is 1347 million.

The GDP of Sweden was 435 billion and the population of Sweden is bout 9.5 million.

The GDP per capita of China =
`(5739000000000)/(1347000000)` = $4620.58

The GDP per capita of Sweden =
`(435000000000)/(9500000)` = $45789.47

Hence, we can see that Sweden's per capita is greater than China.
