Leticia created the table tracking the amount of the price of the stock gain or loss each of the eight days of tracking trading. Time Tracking Stocks Gain/Loss -$2.25 -$1.50 $1.25 Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 -$1.75 $3.75 -$2.50. After the first five days of tracking the stock how much in total did the stock gain or lose in value

Answer 1

To find how much di the stock gain or lose in value after 5 days, we just have to sum the values of the Gain/Loss column from the first row to the fifth one, like this:

Total gain or loss = -2.25 + (-1.5) + 1.25 + (-0.75) + 2.25 = -1

Then, the stock lose $1 in value ($-1)
