In this activity students consider the remarkable differences in state taxes that high paid pro athletes have to pay. Students determine how much more money an athlete should be paid in a high tax state in order to offset the taxes.
Students use yearly percent increase data to decide which stock: Apple, Disney or Amazon, they should have invested in way back in 2015.
What was the net gain of these stocks?
How do you figure that?
Does the arithmetic or geometric average of those increases equal their total gain or loss over the years?
