    The shares were worth $ 220 more on the anniversary date than when the couple first received it.

    Explanation:

    Value of shares on wedding date is the number of shares multiplied by its worth.

    100 shares @ $ 27.50 $ 2,750

    increase over the 1 year period 8 %

    Value of shares on anniversary date

    100 shares @ 27.5 * 108 % = $ 29.70

    Value of shares on anniversary date $ 2,970

    Increase in value of shares $ 2,970 - $ 2,750 $ 220
