Real GDP per capita is found by

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restatement: Real GDP per capita is found by selecting the correct operation that combines real GDP and population to reflect output per person.
Option 1: subtracting population from real GDP. This would mix two quantities that are not designed to be combined additively; subtraction would not yield a per-person measure and lacks a meaningful economic interpretation regarding average living standards.
Option 2: dividing population by real GDP. This yields the reciprocal of GDP per capita (roughly people per unit of output), which is the inverse relationship and not the intended metric for output per person.
Option 3: dividing real GDP by population. This is the standard computation for real GDP per capita, because it distributes total output across individuals, producing a per-person real value that reflects average living standards.
Option 4: adding real GDP and population. Addition combines two incompatible scales and provides a meaningless combined total that does not represent anything like output per person or any standard macroeconomic indicator.
By weighing definition and interpretation, Option 3 is the correct approach for real GDP per capita, since it measures average real output per individual by dividing total real GDP by the number of people. The other options either invert the relationship, misuse arithmetic, or fail to produce a per-person metric with a clear economic meaning.
