Question 1030966: Level 3: My little sister, Savannah, is three years old. She has a piggy bank that she wants to fill. She started with five pennies and each day when I come home from school, she is excited when I give her three pennies that are left over from my lunch money. I�m more sophisticated than my little sister so I save my money in a bank account that pays me 3% interest on the money in the account at the end of each month. (If I take my money out before the end of the month, I don�t earn any interest for the month.) I started the account with $50 that I got for my birthday. Create an equation that models each situation, determine if it is linear, quadratic, or exponential and then describe whose money will grow the fastest.
