    5,692.83 3.

    Explanation:

    ($10,082 billion/177.1) x 100 = 5,692.83

    Remember the real GDP takes into account the value of the total number of goods and services produced by a country in a given year, while taking the effect of inflation into account.

    Because of inflation the consumer price index data is used in the calculation to find the change or deflation that has occurred.
