Answer:

The fraction will increase by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the fraction is x/y. The question is telling us to decrease x by 20% (i.e. 0.8x) and to decrease y by 60% (i.e. 0.4y):

= \frac{0.8x}{0.4y}\\= 2 (\frac {x}{y})

You can see that by applying these changes, the new fraction is actually double the old fraction (i.e. will increase by 100%).

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

x=1x so 1-0.6=0.4x

y=1y so 1-0.2=0.8x

0.4x/0.8y

Simplify:

1x/2y= 0.5xy

0.5xy*100=50%

So it decreased by 50%

1. Over the six months what was the average market price per share?
lozanna [386]
A) The average market price is (12 + 8 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 8) / 6 = $10.83

b) The total amount spent was: 12*8 + 8*12 + 10*10 + 13*7 + 14*7 + 8*12 = $577. The total number of shares was: 8 + 12 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 12 = 56. Therefore the average price per share was $577 / 56 shares = $10.30/share.
c) Since the cost per share in June was $12, and her average cost was $10.30, dollar-cost averaging worked in her favor since her average cost was lower.
