Please have a look at this sentence I found in my Economics textbook...I didn't know but were Economics textbooks always filled with countless grammatical errors? My professor pointed a few out just today...-_-;;;
'For the domestic industries, $9.56 trillion, or 88% of national income, comes from the private sector, and $1.30 trillion, or 12% comes from government.'
I didn't feel right with this sentence so I changed it to this...tell me which one is correct. The words and letters in parentheses are the ones I took out and emboldened/underlined words the ones I added.
'For (the) domestic industries, $9.56 trillion, or 88% of national income, come(s) from the private sector, and $1.30 trillion, or 12% come(s) from the government.'
Which one is correct? Please tell me why as well. Thank you ^^

56 trillion, or 88% of natural income (is the amount which ) come s from the private sector. I see the as optional in both cases.
