The first thing we should do is to multiply 50 and 13 3/4
13 3/4 is equivalent to 13.75 .
So, we then multiply
50 x 13.75 and we get 687.50.
so, $687.50 was the amount spent on the stock.
Now, lets find out how much they sold them for:
What we do is multiply 12 and 50
50 x 12 would be 600
We can find out the loss by subtracting
$687.50 - $600 and that gives us $ 87.50.
Therefore, $87.50 is your answer :)
