The average amount of debt on each person in U.S is  $24,642.86.

What is average?

An average is a single number taken as representative of a list of numbers, usually the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are in the list.

Total debt = $6.9 trillion = $6.9 * $10^{12}$

Total population = 280 million = 280 * $10^{6}$

Debt per person = total debt / total population =  $24,642.86 (approximately).
