Calculate per person GDP for each country.

Answer 1

Ethiopia = $146; Costa Rica = $2,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The GDP per person, also known as GDP per capita is a very simple formula:

GDP Per Capita = Country's GDP / Country's Population

A) Ethiopia GDP Per Capita = $8,000,000,000 / 55,000,000

= $146

B) Costa Rica GDP Per Capita = $9,000,000,000 / 4,000,000

= $2,250
