Answer 1

Given:

Initial price of the stock=$43.85

Change for the first two days=+$2.70

Change for next two days=-$1.10

Last day=-$4.45

The objective is to find the price at the last day.

Let's take the price at final day as x.

`\begin{gathered} x=43.85+2.70+2.70-1.10-1.10-4.45 \\ x=42.6 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the price of the stock at the last day is $42.6
