If the total price of n equally priced shares of a certain stock was $12000, what was the the price per share of the stock?

(1)If the price per share of the stock had been $1 more, the total price of the n shares would have
been $300 more.

(2)If the price per share of the stock had been $2 less, the total price of the n shares would have
been alone 5 percent less.

Answer is D = Each statement alone is sufficient.


This question is difficult for me. Please help.

Remember the two data sufficiency statements never contradict each other. So if they are sufficient, they will lead you to a same unique solution.
Total price of n shares of a stock= $12,000
total shares = n
price of 1 share of the stock = $12,000/n

rephrasing the question: what is the value of n?

statement 1: SUFFICIENT
new total price = $12,300
new price per stock = 12,300/n = (12000/n)+1
=>12300/n - 12000/n = 1
=> n=300

Think this in a different way

If price of each share of a stock is increased by $1, then how many shares should I have so that the total amount increased would be $300? Ans is 300 shares.

statement 2: SUFFICIENT

If I have 300 shares(the unique answer that we got from statement 1) and the price of each share of a stock is decreased by $2, then by what amount the total price would of the shares would be decreased? Ans is $600.
Check whether 5% of 12000 is $600. Ans yes.
Hence both the statements are sufficient.
