From september to october the stock increased 8%, then, we can calculate the 8% of 74.29, and then add the result to the total:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 74.29(8\%)=74.29(0.08)=5.94 \\ \Rightarrow74.29+5.94=80.23 \end{gathered}[/tex]the total for october is $80.23. Finally, since the price fell by 8% in november, we can find the new total by calculating the 92% of $80.23 (since 100% - 8% = 92%):
[tex]\begin{gathered} 80.23(92\%)=80.23(0.92)=73.81 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the price in november was $73.81
