    Answer: $1,031 million

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Retained earnings (2010) = $14,329 million

    Retained earnings (2009) = $13,157 million

    Net income (2010) = $2,203 million

    Amount of dividends = Retained earnings (2009) + Net income (2010) - Retained earnings (2010)

    = $13,157 million + $2,203 million - $14,329 million

    = $1,031 million

    Therefore, amount of dividends did Colgate-Palmolive pay to its shareholders in 2010 is $1,031 million.
