which variable is most important to the following problem? A company has 95,000 shares of stock to sell. A stockbroker decides to buy 150 shares of the stock for each of her 250 clients. How many shares will the company have left to sell after the stockbroker makes her purchase

A. the number of shares the stockbroker bought for each customer
B. the price of one share
C. the number of shares remaining after the stockbroker buys shares for her customers

Answer 1

Answer: the price of shares is never mentioned

the number of shares bought for each customer (what customers? does customer = client?) .... bought for each client is what you're solving for

so C. number of shares remaining to be sold

if 95,000 shares available before sale, 75,000 after, 20,000 were sold.

20,000 shared among 250 people is 80 shares each.

Answer 2

C. the number of shares remaining after the stockbroker buys shares for her customers

Explanation:

Here Most important variable is asked, So Option (C) is the best choice. It is the most important variable for finding the number of shares the company has left.

Option (A) can't be chosen because it is comparatively less important than option (C).

Option (B) never can be an important variable since the price of shares is not given.

Also, The number of shares the company has left after stockbroker's purchase = 95000 - 150×250 = 57500.
