You carry over a balance of $400 on a recent purchase of a washing machine, you will just pay the minimum payment each month for the next three months. The APR is 15.99% and the minimum payment each month is 4% of the balance. Determine the finance charge, new balance, and minimum payment required for the first month, and the starting balance for month 2 in the table below (round to the nearest cent, do not include units with your answers):
| Month | Carry-over balance | Finance charge | New balance | Minimum payment |
| 1 | $400 | —————— | ————— | ——————- |

In the rise of online shopping, malls are losing storefronts. The local mall started with 86 stores at the time that it was opened, but has consistently lost 6 stores per year for each year the mall has been open. Which of the following models represents the number of stores in the local mall at any given year, x?
86x – 6
-6x + 86 – Correct
− 6 ( 86 )ᵡ
0.94x + 86
86 ( 0.94 )ᵡ
86 ( − 6 )ᵡ

The half-life of a radioactive substance is one day, meaning that every day half of the substance has decayed. Suppose you have 304 grams of this substance. Construct an exponential model for the amount of the substance remaining on a given day. Use your model to determine how much of the substance will be left after 4 days. (Express your answer rounded correctly to the nearest tenth of a gram. Do not include units with your answer.)
