`text{C}text{ost of shares}\ = 800 xx 2.60=$2080`

`text{Sale funds}`	`=\ text{sale price}\ -\ text{fee}`
	`=(800 xx 3.40)-24.95`
	`=2695.05`

`text{Profit}`	`=\ text{Sale funds}\ -\ text{C}text{ost}`
	`=2695.05-2080`

`ABC \ text{Dividend}`	`= text{Value of shares} xx text{dividend yield}`
	`= (200 xx 5.5) xx 0.06`

`text{Let} \ \ x = text{number of} \ XYZ \ text{shares}`

`83.52`	`= text{Value of} \ XYZ \ text{shares} xx text{dividend yield}`
