Question

a) 1,000+d
b) 1,000−d
c) d−1,000
d) 1,000×d

Answer 1

The amount Mr. Gold received for the stocks after a loss of d dollars is represented by 1,000 - d.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mr. Gold invested $1,000 in stocks and lost d dollars when he sold them, the amount he received from the sale would be represented by the initial investment amount minus the loss, which is 1,000 - d. Therefore, the correct answer to represent the amount he received for the stocks after the loss is b) 1,000 - d.
