Answer 1

Live Fund receive $\bold{\ 2500 A}$ it they sold half thier holding in Marks Brothers.

Solution:

Given: Sale price of Live Fund holding = 5000 dollar

To find: Amount that Live Fund will get if they sell half of their holding in Marks Brothers.

Assume the total number of shares held by Live Fund in Marks Brothers as A

Therfore, half the holdings (or half the number of shares) of Live Fund will be $\frac{A}{2}$.

Thus, if each share is valued at $\ 5000$, then the total value of the number of shares sold will be as follows,

$\Rightarrow5000\times\frac{A}{2}\text{ dollars }\rightarrow\frac{5000\times A}{2}\text{ dollars }$

$\Rightarrow2500 A\text{ dollars }$

Hence, Live Fund will receive $\ 2500 A$
