Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a stock's price is $200 and it increases by 15% in one year, what will be its price after one year?
  • Step 1: Identify the old price of the stock, which is $200.
  • Step 2: Determine the percentage increase, which is 15%.
  • Step 3: Convert the percentage increase into a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 15% becomes 0.15.
  • Step 4: Calculate the amount of increase by multiplying the old price by the decimal. So, 0.15 * 200 = $30.
  • Step 5: Add the amount of increase to the old price. So, $200 + $30 = $230.
  • Step 6: The new price of the stock after one year is $230.
