Answer

$\$175$

Work Step by Step

The amount each citizen has to pay is: \[\begin{align} & \text{ Each citizen would pay}=\frac{\text{Total amount allocated}}{\text{Total population}} \\ & =\frac{\$53.6\times{{10}^{9}}}{307\times{{10}^{6}}}\\ & =\frac{\$536\times{{10}^{8}}}{307\times{{10}^{6}}}\\ &=\$1.7459\times{{10}^{8-6}}\\&=\$174.59\end{align}\] Take approximate value as follows: \[\begin{align} & \text{ Each citizen would pay = }\$ 174\text{.59}\approx \$175\end{align}\] Hence, the amount each citizen would pay is $\approx\$175$
