Question 1079861: In 2008, funding for a program increased by .80 billion dollars from the funding in 2007. In 2009, the increase was .37 billion dollars over the funding in 2008. For those three years the funding was 10.43 billion dollars. How much was funded in each of these three years? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount funded in 2007. Then 2008 would be n+.8, and 2009 would be n+.8+.37, or n+1.17. So:
n+n+.8+n+1.17=10.43
3n=8.46
n=2.82
The funding for 2007 was 2.82 billion; for 2008 it was 3.62 bil, and for 2009 it was 3.99 bil. ☺☺☺☺
