Suppose you owned 2,000 shares of stock in Procter and Gamble. You purchased the shares at a price of 48.93$ per share and sold them at the closing price of the stock given in the table. A) ignoring dividends, what was your profit or loss on the sale of the stock? Was this a profit or loss? B) if your broker charges 1.7% of the total sale price, what was the broker's commission?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
