    Table 3 shows information relating to the UK economy:

    Table 3

    Value
    GDP (in £s) for 20192215 billion
    Population for 201966.3 million

    Using Table 3, calculate GDP per capita for the UK in 2019 to the nearest £.

    Show your working.

    How to approach this question

    1. Write down the formula for GDP per capita (Total GDP / Population). 2. Convert the GDP and population figures into standard numbers (i.e., with all the zeros). 3. Divide the total GDP by the population. 4. Round the result to the nearest whole number (nearest £).

    Full Answer

    Working: GDP per capita = Total GDP / Population GDP = £2,215,000,000,000 Population = 66,300,000 GDP per capita = 2,215,000,000,000 / 66,300,000 = 33408.748... GDP per capita = £33,409
    To calculate GDP per capita, you divide the total GDP by the population. Total GDP = £2,215 billion = £2,215,000,000,000 Population = 66.3 million = 66,300,000 GDP per capita = £2,215,000,000,000 / 66,300,000 GDP per capita = £33,408.748... Rounding to the nearest pound (£) gives £33,409.

    Common mistakes

    Errors with the units (billion and million). Forgetting to divide, or dividing the wrong way round. Not rounding correctly.
