Answer: The parliament is likely to allocate £ 1,23,93,800.62

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Amount allocated by President Obama    $100,000,000

Amount England wants to contribute        20% of President Obama's allocation

Amount England wants to contribute in USD  =

                                              0.2 * 100,000,000 = USD 2,00,00,000  

Exchange Rate                                      $1. 61371/1 pound sterling

We can read the problem as if $1.61371 is equal to 1 pound sterling, how many pound sterlings are equal to $2,00,00,000?

Let number of pound sterlings be x

So, \frac{1.61371}{1}= \frac{100000000}{x}

x = \frac{100000000}{1.61731}

x = 1,23,93,800.62

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1) can grow either more slowly or more rapidly than real GDP.

Explanation:

Real GDP per capita is the result of dividing real GDP by the total population of a country. Real GDP per capita changes are determined by both the changes in the real GDP and the changes in the population.

If real GDP grows at a slower rate than the population, then real GDP per capita will decrease. But if real GDP grows at a faster rate than the population, then real GDP per capita will increase.

For example, real GDP grows at 3% while population grows at 2%, real GDP per capita will grow by 1%. But some countries have positive economic growth and negative population growth, so the real GDP could grow by only 2%, but since the population growth is -1%, the real GDP per capita will grow at 3%.
