In the Simpsons episode “Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk”, Homer is told by his stock broker that he owns stock at 25 cents a share, and that if he sells all of his stock, he will make twenty-five dollars. Homer decides to sell all of his stock immediately.
How many shares did Homer own?
Answer after the break.
Answer: Homer had 100 shares.
You can solve this pretty simply with algebra:
(25 cents/ 1 share) * Nshares = 25 dollars
( .25 dollars / 1 share ) * Nshares = 25 dollars
Nshares = 100 shares
