A company's stock price fluctuated over a period of four days. The table shows the change in stock price per day.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline Day & Change \\
\hline 1 & increased by [tex]$\$[/tex]3.50$ \\
\hline 2 & decreased by [tex]$\$[/tex]3.70$ \\
\hline 3 & increased by [tex]$\$[/tex]3.30$ \\
\hline 4 & decreased by [tex]$\$[/tex]3.40$ \\

\end{tabular}

The net change in the company's stock price over the four days is [tex]$\$[/tex][tex]$ $[/tex]\square$


Sagot :

To determine the net change in the company's stock price over the four days, we need to aggregate the daily changes as specified:

1. On Day 1, the stock price increased by $3.50.
2. On Day 2, the stock price decreased by $3.70.
3. On Day 3, the stock price increased by $3.30.
4. On Day 4, the stock price decreased by $3.40.

To find the net change, we sum these values:
[tex]\[ 3.50 + (-3.70) + 3.30 + (-3.40) \][/tex]

The arithmetic steps are as follows:
1. Sum the positive changes: \( 3.50 + 3.30 = 6.80 \)
2. Sum the negative changes: \( -3.70 + (-3.40) = -7.10 \)
3. Combine the positive and negative sums: \( 6.80 + (-7.10) = -0.30 \)

Thus, the net change in the company's stock price over the four days is $-0.30.
