Percent of Growth or Decay

Rhonda deposited $3000 in an account in the Merrick National Bank, earning 4.2% interest, compounded annually. She made no deposits or withdrawals. Write an equation that can be used to find B, her account balance after t years.

• B = 3000(1 – 4.2)^t

• B = 3000(1 + 4.2)^t

• B = 3000(1 – 0.042)^t

• B = 3000(1 + 0.042)^t

Marilyn collects old dolls. She purchases a doll for $450. Research shows this doll's value will increase by 2.5% each year. Write an equation that determines the value, V, of the doll t years after purchase.

• V = 450(1 + 0.025)^t

• V = 450(1 – 0.025)^t

• V = 450(1 + 2.5)^t

• V = 450(1 – 2.5)^t

A car was purchased for $25,000. Research shows that the car has an average yearly depreciation rate of 18.5%. Create a function that will determine the value, V(t), of the car t years after purchase.

• V(t) = 25000(1 – 0.185)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 + 0.185)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 – 18.5)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 + 18.5)^t
