Answer:

$972

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax buys 20 shares of stock at $20.

The cost of 20 shares = 20 × $20 = $400

The shares increase in value by 20%

Now the cost of 20 shares = 400 + (20%×400)

                                            = 400 + 80

                                            = $480

Cost per share =  \frac{480}{20} = $24

He sells 10 shares = $20 × 10 = $240

Now he has 10 share costs $240

After the shares decrease in value by 10%, he buys another 20 shares.

Cost per shares after decrease by 10% = 24 - (10%×24)

                                                                 = 24 - 2.40

                                                                 = $21.60

He buys 20 shares and his remaining 10 shares = 20 + 10 = 30 shares

Cost of 30 shares = 21.60 × 30 = $648

The shares then all increase by 50% = 648 + (50% × 648)

                                                             = 648 + (0.5 × 648)

                                                             = 648 + 324

                                                             = $972

The total value of the 30 shares that Ajax own is $972

Twelve more than half of a number is equal to the number
tester [92]
Let's consider that number to be 'x'..
So, twice the number (2x) is 12 greater than than the half of the number.
So the equation will be like,
2x=12+x/2
Solving this further,
2x=(24+x)/2
=> 4x=24+x
=>4x-x=24
=>3x=24
=>x=8..
So the number is "8".
