Answer

$\$711$

Work Step by Step

Dividing the value of imports by the population, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2.21\times10^{11}}{3.11\times10^8} \\= \dfrac{2.21}{3.11}\times\dfrac{10^{11}}{10^8} \\= 0.71061093247588424437299035369775\times10^{11-8} \\= 0.71061093247588424437299035369775\times10^{3} \\= 710.61093247588424437299035369775 .\end{array} Hence, the average value of imports per person, rounded to the nearest whole, number is $ \$711 .$
