Stock worth $80 a share dropped in value by 15% on Tuesday, then increased by $7 the next Wednesday and, finally, increased by 1

Nutka1998 [239]

<h2>Steps</h2>

So here are a couple expressions when a value changes by percentage (p = percentage in decimal form and m = original value):

When <em>decrease</em>: (1 - p)m
When <em>increase</em>: (1 + p)m

So firstly, the $80 share dropped by 15%. Since this is a <em>decrease</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

$15\%=0.15\\\\(1-0.15)*80\\0.85*80\\68$

<em>On Tuesday, the share went from $80 to $68</em>

Next, on Wednesday the share increased by $7. With this, just add $68 and 7.

$68+7=75$

<em>On Wednesday, the share went from $68 to $75</em>

Lastly, on Thursday the share increased by 12%. Since this is an <em>increase</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

$12\%=0.12\\\\(1+0.12)*75\\1.12*75\\84$

<h2>Answer</h2>

<u>The final price of the share is $84.</u>
