Question

You expect that an investment could gain or lose as much as 20% in a year. Your investment is $5,000. What is the lowest value you expect at the end of the year?

Answer 1

The lowest value you could earn is $4200

Answer 2

If the most you could lose is 20%, 20% of 5000$ would be 1000 and subtracting that by 5000 would give you 4000$
