Create an equation for each situation, then use the equation to answer the questions that follow.
Suppose you have to decide which of two jobs you will work:
•
Job A: $75,000 for the first year with a $5,000 raise every year thereafter.
•
Job B: $55,000 for the first year with an 8% raise every year thereafter.
1. Create an equation for each situation.
2. Use each equation to complete the table to the right.
3. When will Job B earn more than Job A?
4. Which job would you choose and why?
