complete parts a through d below
a. write the paired data as a set of ordered pairs of the form (year, pet - related expenditures)
(type an ordered pair. type an integer or a decimal. use a comma to separate answers as needed)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the year and corresponding expenditure

For the year 2001, the pet - related expenditure is 29.2. So the ordered pair is (2001, 29.2).

Step2: Repeat for the next year

For 2002, with expenditure 26.7, the ordered pair is (2002, 26.7).

Step3: Do the same for 2003

For 2003, expenditure 32.7 gives (2003, 32.7).

Step4: And for 2004

For 2004, expenditure 34.1 gives (2004, 34.1).

Answer:

(2001, 29.2), (2002, 26.7), (2003, 32.7), (2004, 34.1)
