Hello what the answer

To determine what happened to the price of the share of stock, let's break down the expression 1.15(0.95d).

1. First, let's focus on the term 0.95d. This represents a decrease in the original price of the stock by 5%.

2. Next, we multiply 0.95d by 1.15. This results in an increase of 15% on the decreased price.

From the analysis above, we can see that the price of the share of stock first decreased by 5% (option A) and then increased by 15% (option C). Therefore, the correct description would be option C: "The price decreased by 5% and then increased by 15%."

your wrong 1.15 is 115% as a percent
