Sagot :

Given:

On Monday one share of stock in a computer company cost $58

On Tuesday, the value of a share dropped by $32

So, The cost = 58 - 32 = $26

On Wednesday, the value of a share quadrupled

So, the cost = 4 x 26 = $104

On Thursday, the value of a share was $19 less than on Wednesday

So, the cost = 104 - 19 = $85

On Friday the value of a share was one-fifth of what it was on Thursday

So, the cost = 1/5 x 85 = 17

Part A- How much was the stock worth on Friday?

So, the answer will be the stock worth $17

Part B: Mr. Cane owns some shares of this stock He wants to sell it on the day it has the greatest profit. On what day should Mr. Cane sell his stock?
