The interest rate per week is \"6.5%2F52=0.125\" %. The specific growth model is \"highlight_green%2890000=p%2A1.00125%5E%2852t%29%29\" and t is time in years. The calculation being done here next assumes that the baby is newborn, less than one week old.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Know that if y is years, then \"y%2Ayears%2852%2Aweeks%2Fyear%29=numberWeeks\";
\n" ); document.write( "t/52=y, and \"t=52y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"90000%2F%281.00125%29%5E%2852t%29=p\"
\n" ); document.write( "substituting for t=18,
