The price of the common shares of SouthCo was valued at $39.45 at the end of 2009, increased by 8.06% in 2010, and overall increased by 12.60% over the two year period 2009/2010. What was the original price of each share at the beginning of 2009?

ANSWER: Initial Value= $39.45*(100% 8.06%)/(100%+12.60)
Initial Value= $37.86

What do i do if the question was the same but instead of INCREASING both time its DECREASED.((The price of the common shares of SouthCo was valued at $39.45 at the end of 2009, DECREASED by 8.06% in 2010, and overall DECREASED by 12.60% over the two year period 2009/2010.

To calculate the percentage of employees who belong to the union, you need to divide the number of employees in the union by the total number of employees and then multiply by 100.

In this case, the number of employees in the union is 139 and the total number of employees is 387.

So, to calculate the percentage:

Percentage = (Number of employees in the union / Total number of employees) * 100

= (139 / 387) * 100

= 0.359173126 * 100

= 35.92%

So, your calculation is correct. The percentage of employees who belong to the union is 35.92%.
