Question

A stock lost 8 1/4 points on Monday and then another 2 3/4 points on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it gained 12 points. What was the net gain or loss of the stock for these three days

Answer 1

There was a net gain of 1.

Hope I could help!

Answer 2

The net gain is 1 point

Explanation:

The equation is

stock= -8 1/4 -2 3/4 + 12

To get the result we have to get all the number with the same factor

So, 8 1/4, you multiple 8 x 4 =32 and added to 1/4, then 33/4

We make the same with the others.

stock= -33/4- 11/4+48/4

stock=-44/4 +48/4

stock=4/4=1

stock=1
