8.54 / 8.75 =0.975

1 - 0.975 = 0.025

Answer:

2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the formula for percentage change (Mathisfun)

\displaystyle \rm \text{Percentage Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%.

Note that the old value shall be the one on the denominator.

For this question:

\displaystyle \rm \begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Change} &= \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%\\ &= \frac{8.75 - 8.54}{8.75}\times 100\%\\&= -2.4\%\end{aligned}.

The value here is negative, but don't be alerted. A positive value of change indicates an increase, while a negative value of change indicates a decrease. In other words, the stock price dropped by 2.4%.

Can someone help me with this? Right answer gets brainliest!! :)

I have 2 answers in mind

Answer #1:

\frac{y}{z}

Step-by-step explanation:

quotient means the answer to 2 things being divided so the quotient of y and z would be \frac{y}{z} because there is no numerical value.

Answer #2:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually, when a letter is left by itself in an equation it usually has an invisible one in front of it. so when dividing y by z it would equal 1/1 which is equal to one.

Hope this helps :)
