What we know here is that all 2500 shares together are worth 100 000 dollars in total. (it's 100 000.00 actually, but we can ignore the part after the point, as it's equal to 0).

This means that each of the shares is valid the whole sum divided by the number of shares, that is:
$\frac{100000}{2500} = \frac{1000}{25} =40$
(first i divided both denominator and numerator by 100)
So each value is worth 40 dolars.

Fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight. Find the number

Lapatulllka [165]

The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:

3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
+14 +14

3/4x=6.
*4/3 *4/3

x=8.
