11. A student banks $200 when she starts secondary College in Grade 7. In Grade 8 she banks $250,$300 in Grade 9, and so on. She is at school for 6 years.
a) Determine a formula relating the amount deposited during a year (200,250,…) to how many years they have been saving(1,2,…).
Because the deposits are increasing, the formula for the bank balance is more complex and is not a linear relationship. Answer the following using a table.
b) What is the total amount she has banked by the time she finishes after 6 years?
c) If she continued banking in this manner after she leaves school, how many years(from the start) will it take for her balance to exceed $15,000?
