You purchased a stock on monday of $24 per share a. on tuesday, the stocks price was $36 per share what was the percent increase b. on wednesday, the stocks price had a percent of 50%. what was the new stock price

A. 12 dollars IP is a 50% increase on 24 dollars
b. poorly phrased question. ...% of 50 % increase or decrease? if increase is 50% of 36 dollars... that's 18 dollars to add on to the new 36dollar price.
18+ 36=54dollars
if it's a decrease it goes down by 18 to 18dollars

Look i don’t know the answer to this but someone else will so just wait a little bit longer
