7th Grade Mathematics Case Study 2 Use the information from the chart below, as well as your relevant responses above to answer the follow case study #2 questions: Please note that “budget receipts” (BR) reflects the total tax revenue the federal government collected for that year; the “budget expenditures” (BE) reflects how much money the federal government spent in that year. The difference between the BR and the BE will either be a “surplus” (positive amount) or “deficit” (negative amount). The “total public debt” has accumulated each year since the federal government began, with each previous year’s surplus either reducing the total debt for the next year or its deficit increasing the debt for the next year. Note: The American Civil War 1861 began on Friday, April 12th and ended on Sunday, April 9, 1865. 7.How much smaller (as a percentage) was the federal debt the very beginning of the Civil War than at the end?
