Question

The 1415 people residing in the state of Oz want their yellow brick road repaved. It could be repaved with standard asphalt for a cost of $487051 or with shimmering gold asphalt for $5826805 . The senator that represents Oz in the national legislature argues that the yellow brick road is a national treasure and a tourist attraction. As such, the senator argues that the nation of 4283361 people should pay for the repaving. Round your answer to two decimals for all of the following questions. What is the cost per person if the national government pays for gold asphalt

Answer 1

Answer:To find the cost per person if the national government pays for gold asphalt, we need to divide the cost of the gold asphalt by the total population of the nation. The cost of the gold asphalt is $5,826,805 and the population of the nation is 4,283,361 people. To calculate the cost per person, we divide the cost of the gold asphalt by the population: $5,826,805 / 4,283,361 = $1.36 (rounded to two decimal places) Therefore, if the national government pays for the gold asphalt, the cost per person would be approximately $1.36.
