Answer

No, this cannot be determined.

Work Step by Step

The reason that the data cannot be determined is that the year in question (1989) is outside of the years noted in the problem (2000-2009). The formula for the year in question could be vastly different than the formula for the years noted in the problem, so the formula would not work for 1989.
