@hallm, do you know what you should do first?

hallm · Answer

no

@Vocaloid - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you'd just subtract 1.63 from 0.12?

Vocaloid · Answer

Start with 1.63
The price rose m ——> add 1.63 + m
The price fell 0.12 ——> subtract .12 to get 1.63 + m - 0.12
Simplify to get the final result
