Barkley · Answer 1

Hi there, we know the total number of stocks bough is 20, the rate was 31 1/2=63/2, 20*63/2=10*63=630 dollars, the rate they were sold is 35 1/4=141/4 dollars, 5*141=705 dollars, the amount of profit is 20 stocks. So, 705-630=75 dollars. So, the answer is C. You made a profit of $75.00
