If you bought a stock last year for a price of $141,and it has risen 1.8% since then,
how much is the stock worth now, to nearest cent?

Current worth of stock is $141.538

Current worth of stock rounded to nearest cent is $142

Step-by-step explanation:

price of stocks= $141

percentage increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

dollar value increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of  $141

increase in price of stocks = 1.8/100 * $141 =$ 253.8/100 = $2.538

Current worth of stock = initial price of stock+increase in price of stocks

substituting the value of initial price of stock and increase in price of stocks we have

Current worth of stock =$141 + $2.538 = $141.538

Since we need to find stock worth now, to nearest cent, as after decimal there .5 and any value greater than or equal to .5 is rounded to one then after rounding,  $141.538 becomes  $142

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
