Aim: Simple Interest Course: Math Literacy Aim: How to get our money to grow? Do Now: At a Forest Service Youth Camp many of the workers ate some meals away from the base camp. In the dining hall at the base camp, 5% of the workers had breakfast only, 3% had lunch only, and 2% had supper only. Just 10% of the workers ate all three meals in camp. There were 5000 meals served at the base camp dining hall. No worker missed all three meals. How many workers were assigned to the Youth Camp?

Aim: Simple Interest Course: Math Literacy Definition of Arithmetic Sequence A sequence is arithmetic if the differences between consecutive terms are the same. Sequence a 1, a 2, a 3, a 4,..... a n,... is arithmetic if there is a number d such that a 2 – a 1 = d, a 3 – a 2 = d, a 4 – a 3 = d, etc. The number d is the common difference on the arithmetic sequence. Each term after the first is the sum of the preceding term and a constant, c. 7, 11, 15, 19, = d 2, -3, -8, -13, = d 4n + 3,... 7 – 5n,... finite infinite 1 st termn th term

Aim: Simple Interest Course: Math Literacy The n th Term of an Arithmetic Sequence The n th term of an arithmetic sequence has the form a n = dn + c where d is the common difference between consecutive terms of the sequence and c = a 1 – d An alternative form of the n th term is a n = a 1 + (n – 1)d A = P + Prt = P(1 + rt) Arithmetic growth (linear growth) – growth by a constant amount in each time period. 16 = 4 + (5 – 1)3 a n = 3n + 1 A = 100(1 + rt) 110 = 100(1 +.10(1)) 120 = 100(1 +.10(2)) 160 = 100(1 +.10(6))
