Answer:

The correct answer is $10

Explanation:

Taking into account that $3 billion equals $3,000,000,000 and 300 million equals 300,000,000, we can proceed to simplify the division as $3,000/300. The result is $10.

We can prove this by multiplying the amount of people, 300 million per $10, and as a result we have $3 billion.

This means that corn subsidies in 2012 cost, on average,  $10 per person in the United States.
