Unit 5 - Percent Increase/Decrease Practice

Miles bought a new boat for $20,000 in 2000. The value of the boat depreciates 8.5% every year. What would the value of Miles' boat be in 2009?

• $4.63

• $8991.24

• $8991.25

• $41677.11

You buy a house for $130,000. Its value increases at a rate of 6% per year. Write an equation that models this situation.

• y = 130000(6)^x

• y = 130000(1+.6)^x

• y = 130000(1 + .06)^x

• y = 130000(1 - 0.6)^x

The value of a painting is $12,000 in 1990 and increases by 8% of its value each year.  Write and evaluate an expression to estimate the paintings value in 2005.

• 1.08(12,000)^t = $36,000
• 12,000(1.08)^t = $38, 066
• 12,000(0.5)^t = $10,000
• 12,000(0.92)^t = $40,000

There were 417 cell phones sold at an electronics store in January. Since then, cell phone sales at this store have increased at a rate of 3.75% per month. At this rate of growth, which function can be used to determine the monthly cell phone sales x months after January?

• f(x) = 417(3.75)^x
• f(x) = 417(0.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.375)^x
