Answer:

2008

Step-by-step explanation:

p=282t+644  (subtract 644 from both sides)

p - 644 = 282t (rearrange)

282t = p - 644 (divide both sides by 282)

t = (p - 644) / 282

find t when p = $1320.80

t = (p - 644) / 282

t = (1320.80 - 644) / 282

t = (676.8) / 282

= 2.4 years

since t is measured in years since 2005,

2.4 years after 2005 will put us in 2005 + 2.4 = 2007.4 ( or inside of 2008)
