A pharmaceutical company’s stock price was $20.33 on Monday. On Tuesday, the price went up $0.35. On Wednesday, the price decreased from Tuesday’s price by $1.05. On Thursday, the price went up $0.95 from Wednesday’s price. Which of the following was the final price on Thursday?

A. $20.68

B. $19.63

C. $20.63

D. $20.58

Answer Explanation:

Thursday’s stock price is found by determining the price of the stock on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Stock price on Monday= $20.33

Stock price on Tuesday= $(20.33+0.35)=$20.68

Stock price on Wednesday =$(20.68-1.05)=$19.63

Stock price on Thursday = $(19.63+0.95)=$20.58

Therefore, the price of the stock on Thursday was $20.58

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #3: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, three times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than pennies?

    A. 5 times as many

    B. 10 times as many

    C. 20 times as many

    D. 15 times as many

    Answer Explanation

    Explanation:

    In this question, we need to find the ratio of dimes to quarters.

    If we let x be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

    Number of quarters in the bottle = 4x

    Number of nickels in the bottle = 3x

    Number of dimes in the bottle =5(3x)=15x

    Now relating dimes to quarters, we have

    Thus, there are 15 times as many dimes as pennies in the box.
