Answer:

a: -$4

b:45

Explanation:

First, you just divide the total amount lost by the number of shares. because it is a loss it's going to be a negative number. For the second one, you want the total so you are going to multiply 45 by 9 and because it's an increase, the answer is a positive number.

\huge\text{Hey there!}



\huge\textsf{Question \#1 reads \boxed{\downarrow}}


\large\text{Ivanna owns \underline{6 shares} of a certain stock. Yesterday the total value of}\\\large\text{her shares went down by \underline{24 dollars}. \boxed{\text{What was the change in value}}}\\\large\text{\boxed{\text{for each share}} ?}


\huge\textsf{What should the equation look like?}


\mathsf{(24)/(6) = change\ in\ value\ for\ each \ share}}


\huge\textsf{How are we going to solve for the answer?}


\mathsf{(24\ dollars)/(6\ certain \ stock) = change\ in\ value\ for\ each \ share}}


\mathsf{24\ dollars \ /\ 6\ certain\ stock\ = change\ in\ value\ for\ each \ share}


\mathsf{4 = change\ in\ value\ for\ each \ share}}


\huge\textsf{So, what s the answer to the question?}


\large\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{4\ dollars}}}\large\checkmark



\huge\textsf{Question \#2 reads \boxed{\downarrow}}


\large\text{A private club grew by \underline{9 members} each week for \underline{45 weeks}. \boxed{\text {What}}}\\\large\boxed{\text{was the total change in the clubs size}} \large\text{ ?}}


\huge\textsf{What should the equation look like?}


\mathsf{(45\ weeks)/(9\ members) = total\ change\ in \ the\ clubs \ size}


\huge\textsf{How are we going to solve for the answer?}


\mathsf{(45\ weeks)/(9\ members) = total\ change\ in \ the\ clubs \ size}


\mathsf{45\ weeks\ / \ 9\ members = total\ change\ in\ the\ clubs\ size}


\mathsf{5 = total\ change\ in\ the\ clubs\ size}


\huge\textsf{So, what s the answer to the question?}

\large\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{5\ members}}}\large\checkmark
