Answer:

$20.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we find the value of 10%, so we do 24 ÷ 10 which equals to 2.4, then we find the halved value of 2.4, so we do 2.4 ÷ 2 which equals to 1.2. Then we add 2.4 and 1.2 together, which then gives us 3.6 as the number. We then subtract 3.6 from 24 which gives us 20.4, but we need in money terms so we change it to $20.40. Hope this helps.

a ABC company stock dropped from 25 3/8 to 22 1/4 during a one month period of time so how much stock fall during this period of
OLEGan [10]
First, let's convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction (trust me, mixed fraction are pretty much the worst things to deal with, especially with higher level math):
25 \frac{3}{8} =  \frac{203}{8}
22 \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{89}{4}

Then, to subtract, since you need a common denominator, I would multiply the second fraction by 2 to get:
2 (\frac{89}{4} ) =  \frac{178}{8}

Now that we have a common denominator, we are ready to subtract:
\frac{203}{8} -  \frac{178}{8} =  \frac{25}{8}

Since that's the most simplified form, and you have been asked the question in a mixed fraction form, let's convert that to a mixed fraction. The remainder of the numerator divided by the denominator is 1, and the quotient is 3. The denominator stays the same. So, this is what results:
3 \frac{1}{8}

And that's your answer: 3 \frac{1}{8}

Hope this all makes sense. If anything doesn't, feel free to tell me!
