Question

You sell 500 shares of Coldwater Creek stock (CWTR). You purchased the stock at $2.98 per share and sold it at $0.88

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cost price of the stock = $2.98 per share

Sold price of the stock = $0.88  per share

We need to find the percent decrease in the stock. It can be done as follows :

$\%=\dfrac{2.98-0.88}{2.98}\times 100\\\\=70.46\%$

or

= 70%

So, the decrease in the stock is equal to 70 %.
