Solution

(a) The change in value for each share can be calculated by dividing the total change in value by the number of shares. In this case, the total change is -90 dollars and Jenny owns 9 shares. So, the change in value for each share is -90 / 9 = -10 dollars. This means each share decreased in value by 10 dollars.

(b) The total change in the club's size can be calculated by multiplying the weekly change by the number of weeks. In this case, the club grew by 7 members each week for 21 weeks. So, the total change in the club's size is 7 * 21 = 147 members. This means the club increased in size by 147 members.
