Alina by several shares of stock at $28 per-share and sells them at $24.50 per-share what is the percent of decrease in the price of the stock

Buy = $28

Sell = $24.50

Decrease = 28 - 24.50 = 3.5

% Decrease = (3.5 / 28) * 100%

= 12.5%

Take the absolute value of the difference, then divide it by the original amount

|28 - 24.5| / 28 = 3.5/28 = 0.125 ... now we multiply that by 100 to get it into a percent 0.125 * 100 = 12.5% < = = ur answer
