<pre>

Let x be the closing price of the fast-food stock;

then the closing price of the toy company stock is (x-24) dollars.


You have then this equation for the total cost of the stocks

    39x + 69*(x-24) = 1530   dollars.


From the equation

    x = {{{(1530+69*24)/(39+69)}}} = 29.50 dollars.


<U>ANSWER</U>. The closing price for the fast-food stock is 29.50 dollars;  for the toy company stock 29.50-24.00 = 5.50 dollars.
