Answer 1

To find the daily price change, you divide the total decrease in price by the number of days.

The total decrease is $21.50 over 5 days.

So, the daily price change is:

\[ \text{Daily Change} = \frac{-21.50}{5} = -4.30 \]

Therefore, the price is changing by \(-4.30\) dollars per day.

The correct response is:

−$4.30.
