the percentage increase per year is 1.6%.
\n" ); document.write( "you start with 34%.
\n" ); document.write( "the next year it's 34% + 1.6%
\n" ); document.write( "the year after that it's 34% + 1.6% + 1.6%
\n" ); document.write( "the year after that it's 34% + 1.6% + 1.6% + 1.6%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you let x equal the number of years after, then the formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p = 34% + 1.6% * x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = the number of years after the percentage was 34%.
\n" ); document.write( "p = the percentage after x years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when x = 0, p = 34% + 1.6% * 0 = 34%.
\n" ); document.write( "when x = 1, p = 34% + 1.6% * 1 = 35.6%.
\n" ); document.write( "when x = 2, p = 34% + 1.6% * 2 = 37.2%.
\n" ); document.write( "etc.....\r
