Q: Jackson and Brandon both invest $500 in the stock market. Jackson's investment quadruples in value, while Brandon's is reduced to 20% of the initial value. How much more money does Jackson have than Brandon now?

A: First find the end value of Jackson's investment: $500 * 4 = $<<500*4=2000>>2000
Then find the end value of Brandon's investment: 20% * $500 = $<<20*.01*500=100>>100
Then subtract the value of Brandon's investment from the value of Jackson's investment to find the difference: $2000 - $100 = $<<2000-100=1900>>1900 The answer is  1900.
