He invests the money in an account that pays 2% interest per year on the balance in the account.
A. 1. Complete the table below to the amount in Kai’s savings account after 6 years.
Year / 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6Amount Saved / $1,000
2. Explain how you completed the table by showing your work for the first two years. ______
______
3. What is the growth factor? ______
4. Write an equation that Kai could use to figure out how much money he has saved over the years.
Initial Value: ______Growth Factor: ______
Hint à Equation: ______
B. 1. Suppose that the cost of the bike rises by 5% per year. Complete the table below to show how the cost increases. There is no sales tax where Kai lives.
Year / 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6Bike Cost / $1, 500
2. Explain how you completed the table by showing your work for the first two years. ______
