Answer 1

The correct answer is (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross domestic product is the economic value of goods and commodities produced within the country in a specific period. GDP per capita is calculated by dividing GDP by the total number of population. In 1950 the GDP of American was 6000$, and in 2013 it was 48000$.

6000$ * 8 =48000$

An average American could buy 8 times more than the average American in 1950.
