Answer:

40.4502 billion dollars

51.3432 billion dollars

Explanation:

Given :

Total amount spent in billions in pets x years after year, 2000 ;

P(x)=2.1786x + 25.2

Amount spent in 2007 ;

x = 2007 - 2000 = 7 years

Put x = 7 in the equation :

P(7)=2.1786(7) + 25.2 = 40.4502

Amount spent in 2012 :

x = 2012 - 2000 = 12 years

Put x = 12 in the equation :

P(12) = 2.1786(12) + 25.2 = 51.3432

The amount spent in billik dollars on pets in :

2007 = $404502 billion

2012 = $51.3432 billion
