Answer

$\$472.26 \text{ billion}$

Work Step by Step

Since $2005$ is $35$ years after $1970,$ then $x=35.$ Substituting $x=35$ in the given equation, $ y=13.34x+5.36 ,$ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y=13.34(35)+5.36 \\ y=466.9+5.36 \\ y=472.26 .\end{array} Hence, the approximate amound of restaurant sales in $2005$ is $ \$472.26 \text{ billion} .$
