Year 0:24
\n" ); document.write( "Year 1: 24+12=36
\n" ); document.write( "Year 2: 36+18=54
\n" ); document.write( "Year 3: 54+27=81
\n" ); document.write( "Year 4: 81+40.5=121.5
\n" ); document.write( "Year 5: 121.5+60.75=182.25
\n" ); document.write( "If her collection is growing by 50% a year, then
\n" ); document.write( "1384=24 x (1+.5)^t.....where t is years. So:
\n" ); document.write( "1384/24=1.5^t
\n" ); document.write( "ln 57.6667=ln 1.5^t
\n" ); document.write( "ln 57.6667=t ln 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "t=ln 57.6667/ln 1.5=10
\n" ); document.write( "In approximately 10 years she will have 1384 plush puppies. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
