Question

The price of a stock decreased by $.60 one week decrease $.10 the next week and decreased another $.20 the following week what is the average change in the price of the stock over the three weeks

A -270 per week
B -90 cents per week
C -87 cents per week
D -30 cents per week

Answer 1

add all the numbers together then divide by the amount of numbers you added together to find the average of anything.

For this problem you add .60+.10+.20=.90 then divide .90 by 3 because you agreed 3 numbers together. .90÷3= .30 so you are subtracting 30 cents per week or (-30)
