XYZ Company declares dividends of $50,000. Samuel Smith owns 50 shares of stock. The company has sold 25,000 total shares of stock. Find out what Sam's share of the declared dividends is.

First find out how much per share is to be paid. To do this step, we divide the total dividends by the number of shares. $50,000 divided by 25,000 shares is $2.00 per share. Then we multiply the amount per share by the number of shares that Sam owns: $2.00 x 50 = $100.00. Sam will receive $100.00.

Sam decides to buy 100 shares of DEF company. They cost $16.60 a share. The commission is 6% of the total price. Sam has $2000.00. Can he afford to buy 100 shares?

Step 1. Multiply $16.60 by 100 = $1,660.00 Step 2: Multiply $1,660 by .06 = $99.60 Step 3. Add Answer = $1,759.60
