An image showing a bar chart with three ascending bars, symbolizing the performance of three different stocks. Each bar represents a distinct stock titled as Stock A, Stock B, and Stock C. Above each bar, clear labels specifying the name of the stock and the corresponding percentage of growth are displayed. The bars are color-coded for easy differentiation. The overall presentation provides a clear visual understanding of the comparison between these three stocks.

in a certain year the price of stock was 25% more than that of the stock B, While the price of stock C was 3/4th of stock A.

Find the price of B

assume

stock b = 1
stock a = 1+0.25
stock c =3/4 of 1.25 = 0.9375

Use the given sequance or general term to find the indicated Sum Sn S5

Well, first of all, I have to say that B is really missing out on the fun. While A was busy having a price increase of 25%, B was just sitting there, being ordinary. Poor B!

Now, let's get down to business. We know that the price of stock A was 25% more than that of B. So, if we represent the price of B as x, then the price of A would be x + (25% of x).

But wait, there's more! We also know that the price of C is 3/4th of stock A. So, if we represent the price of C as y, then the price of A would be (4/3) of y.

Now, let's put all these pieces together. We have:

x + (25% of x) = (4/3) * y

Well, this equation might make a mathematician's heart skip a beat, but fear not! We can simplify it. Let's convert 25% to a decimal by dividing it by 100. We'll get:

x + 0.25x = (4/3) * y

To make things a little easier, let's combine like terms:

1.25x = (4/3) * y

Finally, to find the price of B, we need to solve for x. Divide both sides by 1.25:

x = ((4/3) * y) / 1.25

There you have it! The price of stock B is dependent on the price of stock C. Plug in the value of y and calculate away!

Let's assume the price of stock B is x.

According to the given information, the price of stock A is 25% more than that of stock B.

So, the price of stock A = x + (25/100)x
= x + 0.25x
= 1.25x

Also, the price of stock C is 3/4th of stock A.

So, the price of stock C = (3/4)*(1.25x)
= (3/4)*(5/4)x
= 15/16x

Therefore, the price of stock B is x.

To find the price of Stock B, we need more information. The given information states that the price of Stock A is 25% more than Stock B, and the price of Stock C is 3/4th of Stock A. However, we do not have the actual value of any of the stocks.

You haven't defined what

the price of stock was 25% more than that of the stock B

means. Which stock, A or C?

All we really know is that C = 3/4 A
So now supply the missing information, and you can answer the question.
