Answer:

2008

Explanation:

M = 48.81t + 304.30

M = 694.78 Solve for t

694.78 = 48.81t + 304.30 Subtract 304.30 from each side

390.48 = 48.81t Divide each side by 48.81

t = 390.48/48.81

t = 8.00 yr

=====

Year = 2000 + t

Year = 2000 + 8.00

Year = 2008

Military spending hit $694.78 billion at the end of 2008.
