Try them, get help one step at a time, then print how it went.

Practice: try it, then get help one step at a time

Percent to factor, factor to percent, and reading a and b in a story. Hint gives a nudge, Show next step shows one worked step at a time, Reveal answer checks, and Hide help / start over clears the card. Always start from 100%.

On paper or an index card. Use the math word and the plain-English word.

  1. Why does b = 0.8 make the curve decay?
  2. A quantity grows 7% a year. What is b? A quantity loses 30% a year. What is b?
  3. b = 1.25: growth or decay, and what rate? b = 0.6?
  4. In y = 50 · 0.85x milligrams after x hours, what do a and b mean?

  1. Each step multiplies by 0.8, less than 1, so each output is smaller than the one before.
  2. 1.07 and 0.70.
  3. Growth of 25%. Decay of 40%.
  4. a = 50 is the starting dose; b = 0.85 means 85% remains each hour, losing 15%.
