Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

If a car is worth $18,000 and depreciates at a rate of 10% per year, how much will it be worth after 1 year?

💡 Hint: Use the formula y = a(1 - r)^t with t = 1.

Question 2

Easy

A plant decays at a rate of 5% every year. If it starts at a height of 2 meters, what will its height be after 2 years?

💡 Hint: Apply the decay formula with a = 2, r = 0.05, and t = 2.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A population of a certain species declines by 25% every year. If there were 800 of these animals at the start, what will be the population after 4 years?

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the formula carefully and round to the nearest whole number.

Question 2

A radioactive sample has a half-life of 10 years. If you start with 100 grams of material, how much will be left after 30 years?

💡 Hint: Calculate how many half-lifes fit into the 30 years and apply the reduction accordingly.
