Solution
Given
We are given that:
• your stock portfolio increased by 25% and then decreased by 20%
To find
We need to determine
• what percent of the original value your new stock portfolio would have
Approach and Working out
Let the original value of the stock profile be 100.
- • Then, the value after 25% increase = 100 + 25% of 100 = 125
• And the value of another 20% decrease = 125 - 20% of 125
- o 125 – 25 = 100
Overall, the value of the stock did not change!
- • Final value = 100 and Original value = 100
Suppose Final value = x% of the original value
- • 100 = x% of 100
• x = 100
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Option C
