B、$320 million
C、$400 million

Note that in the numerator of the fraction, each term, with the exception of v(2000) and v(2009), appears first as positive and then again as negative. The positive and negative pairs sum to 0, and the fraction simplifies to .
    Reading the values from the graph, you can approximate the value of the simplified fraction as0.644 billion dollars. The answer choice that is closest to $0,644 billion is $640 million. The correct answer is Choice E.
