Calculate the amount Kolyan had to spend last week. [3]
(b) Priya buys a bicycle for $250. Each year the value of the bicycle decreases by 8% of its value at the beginning of that year. Calculate the value of Priya’s bicycle after 10 years. Give your answer correct to the nearest dollar. [3] 2. (a) The value of a gold ring increases exponentially at a rate of 5% per year. The value is now $882. (i) Calculate the value of the ring 2 years ago. [2] (ii) Find the number of complete years it takes for the ring’s value of $882 to increase to a value greater than $1100. [2] 3. a) Scott invests $500 for 7 years at a rate of 1.5% per year simple interest. Calculate the value of his investment at the end of the 7 years. [3] (b) In a city the population is increasing exponentially at a rate of 1.6% per year. Find the overall percentage increase at the end of 20 years. [2] (c) The population of a village is 6400. The population is decreasing exponentially at a rate of r% per year. After 22 years, the population will be 2607. Find the value of r. [3] 4. (a) The number of newspapers sold decreases exponentially by x% each year. Over a period of 21 years the number of newspapers sold decreases from 1 763 000 to 58 000. Calculate the value of x. [3] (b) Mohsin’s earnings increase exponentially at a rate of 8.7% each year. During 2018 he earned $195 600. During 2027, how much more does he earn than during 2018? [3]
