P(t) =1.745t+29.84P ( t ) = 1.745 t + 29.84

billion dollars (2t19) ( 2 \leq t \leq 19 ) C(t) =1.097t+10.65C ( t ) = 1.097 t + 10.65 billion dollars (2t19) ( 2 \leq t \leq 19 ) J(t) =1.919t+12.36J ( t ) = 1.919 t + 12.36 billion dollars (2t19) ( 2 \leq t \leq 19 )
Where t is time in years since 1980. Compute limtP(t) P(t) +C(t) +J(t) \lim _ { t \rightarrow \infty } \frac { P ( t ) } { P ( t ) + C ( t ) + J ( t ) } to two decimal places.
