Answer:

About $603

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The time interval 2005-2020= 15 years

The principal amount spent= ​$290 billion

The rate= 5%

Let us apply the compound interest formula

A=P(1+r)^t

substitute

A=290(1+0.05)^15

A= 290(1.05)^15

A= 290*2.0789

A= $602.881

Hence about $603 will be spent in 2020
