Clearly define the meaning of each variable in your equation, and interpret the meaning of each constant in your equation. (b) Assume the money in Account B is growing exponentially.

- 2) Suppose you start with $60 and increase this amount by 15%. Since 15% of $60 is $9, that means you increase your $60 by $9, so you now have $69. Notice that we did this calculation in two steps: first we multiplied $60 by 0.15 to find 15% of $60, then we added this amount to our original $60. Explain why it makes sense that increasing $60 by 15% can also be accomplished in one step by multiplying $60 times 1.15. 3) Suppose you have $60 and want to decrease this amount by 15%. Since 15% of $60 is $9, that means you will decrease your $60 by $9, so you now have $51. Notice that we did this calculation in two steps: first we multiplied $60 by 0.15 to find 15% of $60, then we subtracted this amount from our original $60. Explain why it makes sense that decreasing $60 by 15% can also be accomplished in one step by multiplying $60 times 0.85. 4) In the Read and Study section, we noted that the population in Colony B is increasing each year by 25%.

You have a 5% off coupon and sales tax is 5%. What will your final price be? Does it matter if you take off the coupon first or add in the tax first? 6) You have ten coupons that allow you to take 10% off the sales price of a jacket, and for some strange reason, the store is going to allow you to use all ten coupons! Does this mean you get the jacket for free? Let's really think about what would happen at the checkout. First, the teller would scan the price tag on the jacket, and the computer would show the price is $100. After the teller scans the first coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $100, and show the price is $90. (Right? Think about why this is.) Then after the teller scans the second coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $90.
