Answer:

Option B. $87.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question selling price of 50 shares $12 per share and cost price is $12 per share.

Now we have to calculate the loss incurred in selling these shares.

Per share loss = (costing price - selling price)

                 loss = 13\frac{3}{4} - 12 = \frac{55}{4} - 12 = 13.75 - 12 = $1.75

Therefore total loss incurred in selling 50 shares = $1.75 × 50

                                                                                  = $87.50

Therefore Option B. $87.50 is the correct answer.

Answer:

The loss would be 1062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first convert the purchase price into a decimal.

133/4 = 33.25

Now multiply that my the number of shares bought.

33.25 * 50 = 1662.50

This is the amount that was spent. Now to find the sale price, multiply the number of shares by the new price.

50 * 12 = 600

And to find the total loss, subtract the amount of the purchase price from the sale price.

600 - 1662.50 = -1062.50

The price of a four star meal, only $100 per couple decades ago, has since increased 200%. What is the current price?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Well if the price was $100 per couple and increased by 200% then it increased by 2 times the original price. So that means the price doubled so multiply. $100 by 2 which equals $200. So the current price is now $200.

A local store has a puppy that weighs 56 ounces. How many pounds does the puppy weigh, given that 1 pound = 16 ounces? (Input on
AnnyKZ [126]
We know that the puppy weights 56 ounces and it tells us that 1 pound = 16 ounces so every 16 ounces we have a pound. It wants to know how many pounds does the puppy weights. 56 / 16 = number of pounds. So 56 divided by 16 = pounds. The puppy weights 3.5 pounds
