Answer:
Original amount invested = $3400 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original investment of Steve = $x
Stock increased in the first year = 50% of amount invested
Therefore total amount after one year = x + 0.5x = 1.5x
Commission paid to the stock broker = $350
Amount lost by him = $400
Amount withdrawn by him = $300
Total amount decreased from the amount after 1 year
= 1.5x - (350 + 400 + 300)
= 1.5x - 1050
This remaining amount is doubled, so the final amount
= 2(1.5x - 1050)
= 3x - 2100
This final amount is equal to $8100
3x - 2100 = 8100
3x = 8100 + 2100
3x = 10200
x = $3400
Therefore original amount invested in the stock market was $3400 .

Answer:
10 and 84/95
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you divide 1034 by 95 to see how many times it fits in there. Then, after it comes out to a ten with a lot of decimal points, you multiply 95 times 10, and then subtract the product from 1034 to see what the leftover fraction is. 95×10=950. 1034-950=84. Then, you look at 84/95 and see if it can be simplified-which it can't, so your final answer is 10 84/95.
(hope this helps, sry if its badly written)
A) 1.75p + 12 = 54
1.75p = 42
p = 24 bags
b) 1.75(70) + 12 = b
122.5 + 12 = b
b = $134.50
