Note: This question is not complete as the Chart is not included. To complete the question, the chart is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached image for the chart.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

From the chart, we can identify the following:

52 week range 55.61 - 74.42

The above implies that:

The low point = 55.61

The high point = 74.42

Therefore, we have:

Percent increase in the price of the stock = ((The high point - The low point) / The low point) * 100 = ((74.42 - 55.61) / 55.61) * 100 = 34%

Therefore, the percent increase (to the nearest whole percent) in the price of the stock you would have experienced is 34%.
