Question

At the beginning of the day, stock XYZ opened at $3.15. At the end of the day, it closed at $2.87. What is the rate of change of stock XYZ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of change is - 8.89 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The opening price = $ 3.15,

While closing price = $ 2.87,

Now,

$\text{The rate of change}=\frac{\text{closing price-opening price}}{\text{opening price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{2.87-3.15}{3.15}\times 100$

$=\frac{-0.28}{3.15}\times 100$

$=-\frac{28}{3.15}=-8.8889\%\approx -8.89 \%$
