Respuesta :

The total number of shares owned by x shareholders
= x*y
=xy shares

The percentage of shares=[tex] \frac{xy}{w} *100[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x*y}{w} *100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much shares have each shareholder you have to multiply the shareholders by the shares they own, so:

[tex]x*y[/tex]

if we want to know the amount comparing to the total of shares of stock, you get:

[tex]\frac{x*y}{w}[/tex]

And to know the percentage you have to multiply by 100:

[tex]\frac{x*y}{w} *100[/tex]
