Using proportions, it is found that $147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.

  • $x, in billions, was spent on advertising expenditures on television last year.
  • This year, the amount declined 4.1%, hence it is 100% - 4.1% = 95.9% of last year's amount, that is, 0.959x.

This year spending's is of 141.7 billion, hence, the equation is:

0.959x = 141.7

x = \frac{141.7}{0.959}

x = 147.8

$147.8 billion was spent on television advertising in the previous year.
