Word Problems (you must show all of your work to get full credit):
1. Sheer Elegance adds a mark-up of 35% on dresses. If the sticker price reads $142.00: What was their
original cost for the dress?
2. I rolled $10,000 of my IRA into a CD at a rate of 6% (compounded annually). Then, I placed $10,000
from my wife’s IRA into an account that guaranteed 5.8% (computed continuously). After 12 years, what is
the difference between the two accounts?
My Account =__________
Difference = __________
3. Peter is a conspiracy theory nut! So, just to get him spun up, someone told him his co-worker Mary
(who has been there two year longer than Peter) gets paid twice as much as he does minus $22,000.
Peter is now ranting and raving and wants to charge his company with reverse discrimination.

5. My wife came back from a union meeting and claimed a financial planner informed the group that a
contribution of $50 per month, into an annuity at 7% compounded yearly, would be worth over $40,000
in 20 years. Using the Rule of 72, I did a quick mental check and got a figure that was a bit more than
half that amount: So, I told her the claim was bogus. Not willing to take my word for it, she copped an
attitude and got the broacher to PROVE I was wrong.
What would the annuity be worth?
Did I get an apology?

INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
If the question requires computation, do the calculations and then give or select the correct values using the following rule:
Keep at least 4 decimal places at intermediate steps of a calculation, and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, unless otherwise noted.
For example:
16.6667 would become 16.67 after rounding

Question 16
Papa Johns conducted a survey of 100 nursing students taking statistics to determine what toppings they preferred on their pizza. Data handlers converted students' responses into a pie (no pun intended) chart to display the results clearly to upper management. Did the data handlers do a good job in constructing a quality statistical picture? Examine the statistical picture below and if you see a feature that is problematic (e.g., inaccurate or misleading), place your cursor over that feature and click. If you change your mind, click on the clear button on the bottom left and you can begin again. If you decide the statistical picture contains no problematic features, click just above the word "cheese." (Hint: Check out the components of a well-designed statistical picture that are listed on page 7 of the Module 6 course notes, such as appropriate Title, correct Source, etc.)
