$38.5 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit in 2010 = $84.7 million.

The Profit made in 2010 was 2.2 times the profit the company made in 2009.

Therefore:

`\text{2}.2x=84.7\text{ million}`

Next, solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} x=(84.7)/(2.2)\text{million} \\ x=38.5\text{ million} \end{gathered}`

Thus, Cool Game Corporation made a profit of $38.5 million in 2009.
