B.

C.
-$1,500
D.
+$1,500

Answer 8

can you help me plz

Answer 9

First you would take the total amount, 24,000, divided by three because there are three people and they are splitting the total equally.... What would that be...

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

That's just the first part... Do you know the answer to it? Then I can help you with the second part.

Answer 12

8000

Answer 13

Great! Now since all of them loss the same amount, 4,500, equally you would subtract 8000 (each single person's amount) and subtract 4,500 from it. so 8000-4500. What is the answer to that?

Answer 14

3500

Answer 15

Yes. I believe that is right.

Answer 23

not is bc. the question is : By what amount has each individual investment changed due to the loss?

not total investment changed - the question is by what amount has EACH INDIVIDUAL investment changed

ok ? so in this case what will be the right answer ?

Answer 24

@MiraAngel do you understand it now ?

Answer 25

Would you take the total and subtract the loss. Then divide it by three for the individuals?

Answer 26

Nope. I'm lost...

Answer 27

i think no

bc. the total loss are 4500 - yes ?

so how much will be the individual loss when you know there are 3 investor
