Question
The price of a stock increases by 10% each month for 3 consecutive months. What is the overall percentage increase in the price of the stock after 3 months?
Solution
Let the initial price be 100. Price after 1st month = 110. Price after 2nd month = 121. Price after 3rd month = 133.1. Overall percentage increase = (133.1 - 100) / 100 × 100 = 33.1%. The overall percentage increase is 33.1%.
