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".
Could you please clarify the question please by putting a question to be solved? Or are you asking for the definition?
It would be 25 how I got that answer was I did 200 ÷ 8 and that gave me 25
Using a system of equations, it is found that Peter had $48 at first.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Peter's money.
- Variable y: Henry's money.
The ratio of peters money to henrys money is 4 : 3, hence:

After Peter spent $12, they had the same amount, hence:
y = x - 12.
Then, replacing in the ratio:


4(x - 12) = 3x
x = 48.
