    Answer: Private savings is $3.5 trillion

    Explanation:

    Private saving firstly is the amount that households are left over with after paying their taxes and consumption spending.

    therefore we will use the formula private savings = Y-C-T, in which Y is the economies GDP, C is consumption in the economy, T is the Taxes paid by the households to government.

    now we substitute these values on the above mentioned formula:

    Private savings = $12 trillion - $8trillion - $0.5 trillion

    =$ 3.5 trillion therefore private savings is $3.5 trillion.
