..Need help about % question..

A stock loses 60% of its value. What must the percent of increase be to recover all of its lost value?

thnx for ur help.

Let the stock price be 100. By losing 60% of its value it'll come down to 40.

To rise again to 100, the stock will have to gain 150%

 

[ryan_kidz]

thnx.

C'mon ryan; example: 50 is 25 increased by 100%; 100% of n = n

yes? but can u explain to me more detail, how do you get 150?

thnx.

40/100 = 0.40 = 40%
100/40 = 2.50 = 250%
