Answer:
~ <em>50 centimeters of the poster ~</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us plan out our steps, and solve for each:
<em>1. Given the information, let us create a proportionality as such:</em>
<em />
5 = 1 ⇒ x - centimeters of the poster
x 10
<em>2. Now let us cross multiply, and solve through simple algebra for x:</em>
5 * 10 = x,
x =<em> 50 centimeters of the poster </em>
<em></em>
Total number of stocks bought = 20
Rate at which each stocks were bought = 31 1/2
= 63/2
Rate at which 20 stocks were bought = 20 * (63/2) dollars
= 10 * 63 dollars
= 630 dollars
Rate at which each stocks were sold = 35 1/4
= 141/4 dollars
Rate at which 20 stocks were sold = 20 * (141/4) dollars
= 5 * 141 dollars
= 705 dollars
Then
Amount of profit made by selling 20 stocks = (705 - 630) dollars
= 75 dollars
So the total amount of profit made is $75. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "D".
