\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation to model future growth.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=a%281%2Br%29%5Et\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where \"a=76500\" (starting amount)
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=0.024\" (rate, convert from % to decimal)
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=time\"\r
