If you bought a stock last year for a price of $141,and it has risen 1.8% since then,
how much is the stock worth now, to nearest cent?

Current worth of stock is $141.538

Current worth of stock rounded to nearest cent is $142

Step-by-step explanation:

price of stocks= $141

percentage increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

dollar value increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of initial price of stock

increase in price of stocks = 1.8% of  $141

increase in price of stocks = 1.8/100 * $141 =$ 253.8/100 = $2.538

Current worth of stock = initial price of stock+increase in price of stocks

substituting the value of initial price of stock and increase in price of stocks we have

Current worth of stock =$141 + $2.538 = $141.538

Since we need to find stock worth now, to nearest cent, as after decimal there .5 and any value greater than or equal to .5 is rounded to one then after rounding,  $141.538 becomes  $142

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
