On Monday the price of a company’s stock is $30 per share. On Tuesday, the stock price drops $3, on Wednesday it rises $7, on Thursday it rises $3, and on Friday it drops $4. Write a mathematical statement that represents the situation and determine the price at the end of the week.

The price at the end of the week is $33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that on Monday the price of a company’s stock is $30 per share. On Tuesday, the stock price drops $3, on Wednesday it rises $7, on Thursday it rises $3, and on Friday it drops $4.

The price of a company’s stock on Monday = $30 per share

So, the mathematical statement that represents the situation is given by;

Price of company’s stock on Monday = $30

On Tuesday, the stock price drops $3, so the price of company’s stock on Tuesday = Price of company’s stock on Monday - Drop in price on Tuesday

              = $30 - $3 = $27

On Wednesday, the stock price rises $7, so the price of company’s stock on Wednesday = Price of company’s stock on Tuesday + Rise in price on Wednesday

              = $27 + $7 = $34

On Thursday, the stock price rises $3, so the price of company’s stock on Thursday = Price of company’s stock on Wednesday + Rise in price on Thursday

              = $34 + $3 = $37

On Friday, the stock price drops $4, so the price of company’s stock on Friday = Price of company’s stock on Thursday - Drop in price on Friday

              = $37 - $4 = $33

Hence, the price at the end of the week is $33.

The answer is 5.67

You have to round the 5.66 to 7.
