Based on the statistics, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year

How to determine the amount an American spend on lotteries?

The population is given as:

Population = 325 million

23% are under the age of 18.

This means that this category is not eligible to play lotteries.

The eligible population is:

Eligible = (1 - 23%) * 325 million

Evaluate

Eligible = 250.25 million

The total amount is given as:

Total = $75 billion

So, the amount spent by each is:

Amount = Total/Eligible

This gives

Amount = $75 billion/250.25 million

Evaluate

Amount = $299.7

Hence, an average American spends $299.7 on lotteries each year
