Original investment = $6,400
Decrease % = 8.2
Decrease = (8.2*6400)/100
= 52480/100
= $524.80
Value at the end of the year = $6400-524.80
= $5875.20

well 8.2% of 6400 is 6400 x .082
6400x .082 = 524.8
subtract the losses and you get
6400 - 524.8 = 5875.2

100-8.2=91.8%
91.8%=.918
6400 x .918=$5875.20
