Answer:

$8,580,000 (rounded) = $9,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind, 2007 is four years after 2003.

So, 8(%) • 4 = 32(%)

Over the course of 4 years, the companies profits increased by a total of 32 percent.

(*Write 6.5m in standard form)

6,500,000 + 32% = $8,580,000

8,580,000 (rounded up) = 9,000,000
