Answer:

a. $45.86

b. $43.87

c. Percentage change = -4.40%)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let the price of share at the beginning of first year be represented with X

Now, Price of company's share dropped by 3.50% at the end of first year.

So, Price of share at the end of first year = x - 3.5% of x

= x - 0.035x

= 1x - 0.035x

= 0.965x

But it is equal to $44.25

=> 0.965x = 44.25

x = 44.25 / 0.965  

x = 45.8549223

x = $45.86

b. During second year price of share decreased by $1.99. Therefore, Price of share at the end of second year = $45.86 - $1.99  = $43.87

c. Percentage change in the price of shares over two years = {(45.86 - 43.87)/45.86} *100

= (1.99/45.86)*100

= 0.04339294 * 100

= 4.40%

Now, as price of shares has dropped, the percentage change will be negative. (Δ% = -4.40%)

It is estimated that each guest at a party will eat 2/3 pounds of chocolate. How many guest can be served with 6 pounds of choco
alexdok [17]
In this you have to do 6(total) /(Divided) 2/3. And when you do 6/(2/3) you also have to do KCF(keep, change, flip) and that brings you to 18/2 after multiplying across. So the answer would be 9 people.
