Answer 1

69 3/4

Explanation:

The stock market goes down to 50 3/4 at the beginning of the day

At the end of the day it goes up to 120 1/2

Therefore total change in the stock market from the beginning to the end of the day can be calculated as follows

= 120 1/2 - 50 3/4

= 241/2 - 203/4

= 279/4

= 69 3/4

Hence the total change in the stock market from the beginning to the end of the day is

69 3/4
