Total population for this country in 2005 $2.05x10^7 people$

And we want to estimate the garbage per capita or per person for 2005, and we can use the following formula:

$\frac{Garbage}{People} =\frac{4.033x10^{9} pounds}{2.05 x10^{7} people}$

And after operate we got:

$196.73 \frac{pounds}{people}$

So then the gragbe per capita on this was would be $196.73 \frac{pounds}{people}$
