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? actually I think its -5

That's better

You’re correct!

To find the net change in the stock's worth, you need to calculate the sum of all the gains and losses. Let's break it down step by step:

1. Start with the initial value of the stock.
2. Add the gain of 6 points.
3. Subtract the loss of 13 points.
4. Subtract the loss of another 3 points.
5. Add the gain of 15 points.
6. Subtract the loss of 10 points.

Now, let's do the calculations:

Initial value + Gain of 6 - Loss of 13 - Loss of 3 + Gain of 15 - Loss of 10

Initial Value + (6 - 13 - 3 + 15 - 10)

In this case, the initial value doesn't matter since we are only concerned with the net change. We can ignore it for this calculation.

6 - 13 - 3 + 15 - 10 = -5

Therefore, the net change of the stock's worth is -5 points.
