Question

The stock market gained 50 points on Tuesday and lost 17 points on Wednesday. It had closed on Monday at 2666 points. Where did the market close on Wednesday?

Answer 1

The market closed at 2699 points on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Closing points on Monday = 2666 points

Points gained on Tuesday = 50 points

We will add the points because gain is positive.

Points on Tuesday = Closing points on Monday + Points gained

Points on Tuesday = 2666+50 = 2716 points

Points lost on Wednesday = 17

We will subtract these points because loss is negative.

Closing points on Wednesday = Points on Tuesday - Points lost

Closing points on Wednesday = 2716 - 17 = 2699 points

The market closed at 2699 points on Wednesday.
