Answer 1

For the United States:

literacy rate: 99%

percentage of the GDP spent on education: 6.2%

percentage of people in poverty: 11.8%

GDP Per capita: 62,749

write one paragraph about the relationship between the literacy rate and the percent of the GDP spent on education to the GDP per capita.

The United States spends a considerable amount of its GDP in education, however, it is far from the top of countries in this item. For example, Norway and Denmark both spend about 8% of their GDP on education.

However, the U.S. still has one of the highest literacy rates in the world, sitting at 99%. This is because the U.S. is an advanced economy with one of the highest GDP per capita in the world.
