No idea but if you solve this I would really appreciate it♥️

Answer 1

Before I begin, remember:

• This sign - is the negative sign. When you see a negative sign, that means you will be subtracting.
• This sign + is the positive sign. When you see a positive sign, that means you will be adding.

At the end of March, the total stock value was $349.52. In January, the price increased by $33.88. That means you need to add $33.88 to the price in the beginning.

$\ 349.52 + \ 33.88 = \ 383.40$

Your current price is $383.40. In February, the price decreased by $48.59. Subtract $48.59 from the current price.

$\ 383.40 - \ 48.59 = \ 334.81$

The new current price is $334.81. At last, in March, the price increases by $12.77. Add $12.77 to the current price to get your final answer.

$\ 334.81 + \ 12.77 = \ 347.58$

Your answer is $347.58, which is the 3rd choice.
