To find the per capita GDP, we first need to calculate the Real GDP by accounting for inflation. The formula is: \[ \text{Real GDP} = \text{GDP} - (\text{GDP} \times \text{Inflation Rate}) \] Substituting our values: \[ \text{Real GDP} = 637 \text{ billion} - (637 \text{ billion} \times 0.025) = 637 - 15.925 = 621.075 \text{ billion} \] Now, using the Real GDP to calculate the Per Capita GDP: \[ \text{Per Capita GDP} = \frac{\text{Real GDP}}{\text{Population}} = \frac{621.075 \text{ billion}}{43,937,000} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Per Capita GDP} = \frac{621,075,000,000}{43,937,000} \approx 14,134.84 \] Thus, the per capita GDP in Argentina is approximately **$14,134.84** when rounded to the nearest cent.
