Some years ago we invested 5000 dollars in some promising stocks. A year ago we checked on the value of the stocks and found that it went up by 10%. How much were our stocks worth a year ago?
Answer: dollars
Today, we checked again. To our delight, we saw that during the last year, the stocks did well, and there was another increase of 40%. How much are our stocks worth today?
Answer: dollars
Let us express the two changes as a single change. If the value of the stocks increased from 5000 dollars to what you have found it to be worth today, what is the increase in dollar amount?
Answer: dollars
This increase is what percent of the original amount, 5000 dollars? Express your answer as an integer. (Notice that the percent sign is already there.)
Answer: This is a(n) % change.
