Answer:

£714.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to set up expresssions for the two shares:

Let  x = the amount of one share.  The other share is 1785 - x.  <u>You don't have to worry about which is smaller--that part will work out automatically</u>!

The two shares are in the ratio of 2:3, so set up the proportion

\frac{x}{1785-x}=\frac{2}{3}

Again, you don't have to worry--you could set up the proportion "upside down" and everything will work out in the end.

Solve the proportion for  x  by "cross multiplying" -- use the Means-Extremes Property of proportions.

(3)(x)=(2)(1785-x)\\3x=3570-2x\\5x=3570\\x=714

So one share is £714£ and the other is £1785 - £714 = £1071.

The smaller share is £714.

Purchase price of shares $396.33 per share

Closing price per share four years later = $778.38

A) What did Chadwick pay for all of the shares in 2016?

Purchase price per share × number of shares.

B) What was the closing value of all of the shares four years later?

Closing price per share × number of ahaf

=$778.38 × 50

= $38,919

C.) Profit on stock :

$(38,919 - 19,816.50)

= $19,102.5

D) What is his rate of return on his shares when he sold them?
