In a week, a given stock gained 6 points, dropped 13 points, dropped 3 points, gained 15 points, and dropped 10 points. What was the net change in the stock's worth?
I think -35
Acertain stock registered the following gains and losses in a week. First it rose by 7 points, the nit dropped13 points ,the nit gained 8 points,then again an other 6 points, and finally lose 8 points.Write a mathematical expression that uses addition as the operation,and then find the net change in what the stock was worth during the week?
it -6
To calculate the net change in the stock's worth, you need to add up all the gains and subtract all the drops. Let's go step by step:
1. The stock gained 6 points.
2. Then it dropped 13 points.
3. It dropped another 3 points.
4. It gained 15 points.
5. Finally, it dropped 10 points.
Now let's add up the gains and subtract the drops:
6 + (-13) + (-3) + 15 + (-10) = -5
Therefore, the net change in the stock's worth is -5 points.
Just guessing? How ever did you get that?
6-13-3+15-10 = -5
