Question

The value of a stock decreases by an average of 10 dollars each week. Which of the following represents the total average decrease in the stock after 8 weeks?

|−10| − |8| = 2 dollars
−8|10| = 80 dollars
|−10| − 8 = 2 dollars
8|−10| = 80 dollars

Answer 1

The total average decrease in the stock after 8 weeks is $80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total average decrease in the stock after 8 weeks can be calculated by multiplying the average decrease per week by the number of weeks.

In this case, the stock decreases by an average of $10 each week, so the total average decrease after 8 weeks would be 8 * $10 = $80.
