The Dow Jones changes for December 15–19, 2008 were:
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −63 | +358 | −98 | −219 | −27 |
Round each number to the nearest ten and estimate the net gain or loss for that week.
Correct Answer
Net loss of approximately 50 points
Explanation
Round: \(-63 \to -60\), \(358 \to 360\), \(-98 \to -100\), \(-219 \to -220\), \(-27 \to -30\).
Positives: \(360\). Negatives: \(-60 + (-100) + (-220) + (-30) = -410\). Net: \(360 + (-410) = -50\). Negative → net loss of approximately 50 points.
