The stock of Company A gained $0.18 throughout the day and ended at a value of $6.18. By what percentage did the stock rise

3333%

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase between the stock figures = New stock figure - initial stock figure

% increase = 33.333 x 100

% increase ≈ 3333%

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
