If the only stocks that an investor owns are 75 shares of stock A and 100 shares of stock B, what is the total dollar value of his stocks?

(1) The total value of 3 shares of stock A and 4 shares of stock B is $160. (2) The value of each share of stock A is twice the value of each share of stock B . OA to follow after some discussion. I know this question is easy, however I am not convienced with the OA and need to discuss with the group.

Question: 75A+100B=25(3A+4B)=? Where A and B are the prices of the stock A and stock B receptively. As you can see, basically we should find the value of 3A+4B. (1) The total value of 3 shares of stock A and 4 shares of stock B is$160 --> 3A+4B=\$160. Sufficient.

(2) The value of each share of stock A is twice the value of each share of stock B --> A=2B --> 3A+4B=10B, we need the value of either A or B. not sufficient.

P.S. You should always indicate OA if you have it.
