Answer:

$68.00

Explanation:

Let s represent the opening price. Then the closing price is ...

s - 3.25% × s = $65.79

s(1 -0.0325) = $65.79 . . . . collect terms

0.9675s = $65.79 . . . . . . . simplify

s = $65.79/0.9675 . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of s

s = $68.00 . . . . . the opening stock price
