Answer 1

Since the Czech Republic has a GDP of 2,000 billion koruny.

The exchange rate is 20 koruny per U.S. dollar.

The Czech population is 20 million.

The per capita GDP of the Czech Republic = $\frac{GDP}{population}$

$=\frac{2,000 billion koruny }{ 20 million.}$

$=\frac{2,000,000 million koruny} {20 million}$

$=100,000 koruny$

The per capita GDP of the Czech Republic in US dollars

$=\frac{100,000 koruny} {20}$

$=\$5,000$

The per capita GDP of the Czech Republic in US dollars $5,000 per head.
