So, the stock value at the end of December was $349.52

1.) From the table, the change in price in January was a positive $33.88.

Simply add $33.88 to $349.52 (which equals to $383.40)

2.) From the table, the change in price in February was a negative $48.59.

Simply subtract $48.59 from the total (which equals to $334.84)

3.) From the table, the change in price in March was a positive $12.77.

Simply add $12.77 to the previous total (which now equals to $347.58)

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.
