Question

The stock of Company A gained $0.18 throughout the day and ended at a value of $6.18. By what percentage did the stock rise

Answer 1

Answer: 3333%

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase between the stock figures = New stock figure - initial stock figure

6.18 - 0.18 = 6.00

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

Increase = 6.00

Original Number = 0.18

% increase is therefore= 6.00 ÷ 0.18 x 100

% increase = 33.333 x 100

% increase ≈ 3333%

Answer 2

Answer: % increase ≈ 3433%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: work out the difference (increase) between the tow numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

Step 3: Plug in known values

Increase = 6.18

Original Number = 0.18

% increase = 6.18 ÷ 0.18 x 100

% increase = 34.333... x 100

% increase ≈ 3433%
