Question

The stock market dropped 220 points on Monday. It lost another 48 points on Tuesday, and on Wednesday it gained 96 points. What was the amount of change over those three days

Answer 1

48 points gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220 with 48, then add 96. Last step would be subtracting 220 with the amount they have now in those 3 days to find how much points the stock market gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220-48.It‘ll be 172.

Add 172 with 96. 172+96=268.

Subtract 268 with how much points the stock market had 3 days ago. 268-220.

Final Result: 48 points.
