Test Talk

Hi All you Math People Out There:
Okay, here's what we've done in 40S Consumer Math so far this semester:

Note: 50% of the test will be comprised of the items with a '*' before them.

1) Tenant Insurance (standard, comprehensive, deductible)
2) Before and after taxes (prices)
3) Exchange rates (bank buying, bank selling)
4) % Grid (part, %, whole, 100)
5) Fuel Economy Grid (# of litres, 100 km, litres used, distance traveled), remember, less is better
6) Rounding Decimals
7) Simple Interest: I=Prt
8) Compound Interest: A=P(1 + r/n)^nt (use for interest, adjustment, and possession dates)
*9) Life Insurance (term, whole, cash surrender value)
*10) Mortgages

Recall that that the assigned homework questions (from your dark blue duo tang) were
page 22: # 1,2,3a,3b,4a,5a,5b,6,7
page 23: all
page 32: 1a,1b,1c,1d,2,3,7
Also I assigned questions 1,2 and 3 of the chapter review (dark blue duotang).

We also had some worksheets on simple and compound interest

Good luck studying! See you Monday!
