Not so sure in which category this fits into, so I decided to post this here.
I've been revising tests online and have found this question in which I'm not so sure how to workout.

Any help will be appreciated!
 
Please show whatever work you've been able to do on this. We can help you better that way.

Hint: Use the first two pieces of information to find K. What do you do then?

So far I've managed to find K, since you are given the first distance it went in a minute.
So I've done:
1040 = (K * 1200) +20
K = 0.85

I've tried substituting this into the equation but now am not sure on what to do.
So I'm stuck on h(3+1) = 0.85*h(3)+20

So after 1 minute (@ 9:16) the balloon is at 1040

height at @9:17 = K*1040+20 = 904

height at @9:18 =??
