To represent the changes in stock price, you form an addition sentence using the initial price and the changes over the subsequent days. The stock price at the end of Thursday was $6.16 after accounting for the decreases and increase.
Changes in Stock Price
To describe the changes in the stock price from Monday to Thursday in an addition sentence, you can write the following:
Initial Price - Tuesday's Decrease + Wednesday's Increase - Thursday's Decrease = End of Day Thursday Price
Putting in the given values, the equation becomes:
$7.50 - $0.89 + $0.78 - $1.23 = Ending Price
When you calculate the changes, you get:
$7.50 - $0.89 + $0.78 - $1.23 = $6.16
Therefore, the stock price at the end of the day on Thursday was $6.16.
