Paul and Alissa Jones invested money in the Hershey Company. During a 2-day period, Paul and Alissa's stock price had a change of -4. What was the average change per day?

Respuesta :

Answer: -2 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During a 2-day period, Paul and Alissa's stock price had a change of -4.

Thus, Change in stock = -4

Time period = 2 days

The average change in a subject is given by :-

[tex]\text{Average change}=\frac{\text{total change}}{\text{time period}}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\text{Average change}=\frac{-4}{\text{2}}\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Average change}=-2[/tex]

Hence, The  average change per day = -2 per day.
