Stock in Company XYZ decreased from $14 per share to $9 per share. What is the percent decreased in the stock price?

decrease=5/14 * 100 percent

Use what's called the percent change formula:

% Change=New amount-old amount/old amount and multiply the answer by 100 to get it in terms of percentage.

For example: 14-9=5
5/14 (14 because that was its initial price prior to it decreasing) =0.3571.
We want our answer in percents...so we move the decimal point two places to the RIGHT. Or we multiple by 100.

Answer is 35.7%

To find the percent decrease in the stock price, we can use the formula:

Percent Decrease = ((Original Value - New Value) / Original Value) * 100

In this case, the original value is $14 per share, and the new value is $9 per share. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Percent Decrease = (($14 - $9) / $14) * 100

= ($5 / $14) * 100

= 0.357 * 100

= 35.7%

Therefore, the stock price decreased by 35.7%.

To find the percentage decrease in the stock price, you need to calculate the difference between the initial price and final price, and then express that as a percentage of the initial price.

Let's calculate it step by step:

1. Find the difference in price: Subtract the final price ($9) from the initial price ($14).
$14 - $9 = $5

2. Calculate the percentage decrease: Divide the difference by the initial price and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Percentage decrease = ($5 / $14) x 100 = 35.71%

So, the stock in Company XYZ has decreased by approximately 35.71%.
