Respuesta :

Answer: the number of stocks that he owned is 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of shares of stock he owned.

On a particular​ day, the price of one share of a video gaming​ company's stock dropped by ​$1.20. This means that the amount that was lost by the share holder is - $1.2x because loss is negative

If the stockholder lost ​$600 that​ day, the expression would be

- 1.2x = - 600

x = - 600/ - 1.2

x = 500
