Suppose a movie tickect costs about $7, and infalation causes ticket prices to increase by 4.5% a year for the next several years.
-------------
EQUATION:
Price t years from now
P(t) = 7(1.045)^t
--------------
a.At this rate, how much will a ticket cost 5 years from now?
P(5) = 7(1.045)^5 = $8.72
--------------------------------
b.How much will a ticket cost 10 years from now?
P(10) = 7(1.045)^10 = $10.87
-------------------------------
c.How much will a ticket cost 30 years from now?
P(3)) = 7(1.045)^30 = $26.22
================
