Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the opening price be x

So the amount of gained will be $16.68 - $x

Next, this value correspond to 4.25% of the opening price of the stock which is x

Thus,

4.25% of x = 16.68 - x

\frac{4.25}{100} * x = 16.68-x

Cross multiply

4.25x = 100(16.68-x)

4.25x = 1668 - 100x

100x + 4.25x = 1668

104.25x = 1668

x = \frac{1668}{104.25}

x = $16

Check Answer:

$16 x 4.25%=.68

$16 + .68 = 16.68

Hence, x = 16 is correct
