Show work clearly for partial credit. Don't round anything until the final answer. If the answer to a previous part of the question is needed to solve subsequent parts of the question, use the unrounded result instead of the rounded answer. Round all answers expressed in dollars to the nearest penny unless otherwise instructed. Express all percentage answers in percentage form, and round to two decimal places (Example: 6.42%)
