The number of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every hour.  If you start with 6 bacteria, how many will you have after 12 hours?

24,576 bacteria

Doubling = increasing by 100% or 1.00

24,576 = 6(1+1.00)^12

A car is purchased for 90,000 riyals (haha!). It is expected to lose 15% of its value each year.  How much will the car be worth after 5 years?

1 riyal = $0.27

39,933.48 riyals or $10,782.03

39,933.48 = 90,000(1-.15)^5
