Question

Norman and Suzanne own 27 shares of a fast food restaurant stock and 61 shares of a toy company stock. At the close of the markets on a particular day in​ 2004, their stock portfolio consisting of these two stocks was worth

​$929.00. The closing price of the fast food restaurant stock was $23 more per share than the closing price of the toy company stock on that day. What was the closing price of each stock on that​ day?

Answer 1

27(x+23) + 61x = 929

27x + 621 + 61x = 929

88x + 621 = 929

88x = 308

x=3.50

the toy store stock price is $3.50 per share.

the restaurant is $26.50 per share
