For Yahoo (YHOO),

Worth of  shares:

= Price × Number of shares

= $30 × 210

= $6,300

For General Motors (GM),

Worth of  shares:

= Price × Number of shares

= $30 × 100

= $3,000

For Standard and Poor's Index Fund (SPY),

Worth of shares:

= Price × Number of shares

= $13,200

Portfolio weight of  YHOO:

= Worth of shares ÷ Total worth of shares

= $6,300 ÷ $13,200
