Answer:
Rate of Return is 14.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 20 shares of Stock are purchased for $30 per share.
This gives us a total value of: 20 × 30 = $600.
Now, the shares are sold for $710 with a commission sale of $6. This means the final money going to the seller is; 710 – 6 = $704.
Thus, the rate of return percentage is = (704 – 600)/704) × 100% = 14.7727%
To the nearest tenth gives us 14.8%

Answer:
replace recipe quantities:
1/4 ⇒ 5/8; 1/2 ⇒ 1 1/4; 1 ⇒ 2 1/2; 1 1/2 ⇒ 3 3/4; 2 ⇒ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given recipe serves 4, so must be multiplied by 10/4 = 5/2 to make it make 10 servings.
The numbers in the recipe (ignoring units or ingredients) are ...
1/4, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2
Each of these numbers needs to be multiplied by 5/2 to get the number for the larger recipe.
1/4 × 5/2 = 5/8
1/2 × 5/2 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
1 × 5/2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2
(1 1/2) × 5/2 = 3/2 × 5/2 = 15/4 = 3 3/4
2 × 5/2 = 5
Then, to make the larger recipe, rewrite it with the quantities replaced as follows:
old value ⇒ new value
1/4 ⇒ 5/8
1/2 ⇒ 1 1/4
1 ⇒ 2 1/2
1 1/2 ⇒ 3 3/4
2 ⇒ 5

For example, 1 1/2 lbs of fresh tomatoes ⇒ 3 3/4 lbs of fresh tomatoes

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you actually want to create the recipe, you may find it convenient to use a spreadsheet to list quantities, units, and ingredient names. Then you can add a column for the quantities for a different number of servings, and let the spreadsheet figure the new amounts. (A spreadsheet will compute quantities in decimal, so you will need to be familiar with the conversions to fractions--or use metric quantities.)
Given :
Cost of single bottle, C = $1.69 .
Cost of 4 bottles, B = $5 .
You bought one bottle last week for $1.69 and one bottle this week at the 4 for $5 price.
To Find :
Did you pay more or less for the bottle this week at 4 for $5? How much more or less?
Solution :
Effective price per bottle if we purchase 4 is, E = 5/4 = $1.25 .
Regular price, R = $1.69 .
Change in price, C = $( 1.69 - 1.25 ) = $0.44 .
Therefore, we are paying $0.44 less than the actual price.
Hence, this is the required solution.
