Answer:
The financial advisor is not using percentage properly.
Percentage loss=2%
Step-by-step explanation:
original amount invested=$11000
By the end of the first year, there was a decrease by 30% over the original amount.
This implies that the amount invested at after the end of the first year or at the beginning of the second year
=$7,700
This amount has increased by 40%
=$10,780
The financial advisor is not using percentage properly.
