A large company is making long-range budget plans. This year, Smart Mart went from 2400 employees to 2520 employees. The number of employees may be increasing at a constant rate of 120 employees a year OR exponentially by 5% per year. For the next ten problems, refer to the chart below to answer the questions.

In Example #1 (town population) in the link to "Exponential Decay" in the lesson area the problem is: A town with a population of 64,500 is losing 3% of its population each year. At this rate, how many people will be left in the town after 15 years?
Notice that the answer to this problem is 40,845 people and shows a sharp decline over a short period of time. This problem demonstrates exponential decay.
