The price per share of Stock X increased by 10 percent over the same time period that the price per share of Stock Y decreased by 10 percent. The reduced price per share of Stock Y was what percent of the original price per share of Stock X?

1) The increased price per share of Stock X was equal to the original price per share of Stock Y.

2) The increase in the price per share of Stock X was 10/11th the decrease in the price per share of Stock Y.

Again, for anyone else reading --- I have posted a video solution for every single Quant question in both the OG12 and the OG13.

Please let me know if anyone reading this has any further questions.
