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%)

Se tiene 2 metros de tela y se corta el 85% para hacer cortinas el 50% del resto para hacer las tiras que la sujetan.¿cuantos se
zavuch27 [327]

For this case we have the following statement:

<em>"You have 2 meters of fabric and you cut 85% to make curtains, 50% of the rest to make the strips that hold it. How many centimeters of fabric were left?"</em>

So, we have:

2 meters ---------> 100%

x ----------------------> 85%

Where "x" represents the amount of fabric meters equivalent to 85%.

x = \frac {85 * 2} {100}\\x = 1.7

Thus, 1.7 meters of fabric were used to make curtains.

There are 0.3 meters of fabric left, of which half (50%) is used to make the strips that hold the curtain. That is to say:

\frac {0.3} {2} = 0.15m

Thus, 0.15 meters of fabric remain.

0.15 m * \frac {100 cm} {1 m} = 15\ centimeters.

Thus, 15 cm of fabric remain

Answer;

15 cm
