An investor purchased a bond for p dollars on Monday. For a certain number of days, the value of the bond increased by r percent per day. After this period of constant increase, the bond decreased the next day by q dollars and the investor decided to sell the bond that day for v dollars. When did the investor sell the bond if r = 100{[(v+q)/p]^1/2 - 1} ?

initial price = p
price before decrease by q = p (1+r)^n
v = p (1+r)^n - q
v + q = p (1+r)^n
r = 100 {(v+q)/p)^1/2 - 1}
r = 100 [{p (1+r)^n /p}^1/2 - 1]
r = 100 [{(1+r)^n}^1/2 - 1]
now n should be 2. if n is 2 then, he sold the bond on Thursday of the same week.

Increment is compounded because the increment each day is based on the increased rate from the previous day.
So
v = p(1 + r/100)^n - q where n is number of days (n is 1 day before q dollars drop)
{100[(v+q)/p - 1]}^ 1/n = r
We know n = 2, so he must have sold on Thursday because the drop only comes in n+1 days.
