Could someone please help me figure this out and tell me how you got the answer do I can try to so the second part of the problem. The price of a certain stock at the beginning of the week was $61. Here are the changes in price during the week: +3,+2,-1,-4,-5. What is the price of the stock at the end of the week? Thank you very much.

Add up the changes: +3+2+(-1)+(-4)+(-5) = -5

So the final change is -5

This means that the stock lost $5 at the end of the week.

So the stock price at the end of the week is 61 + (-5) = 56 dollars
