Answer: difference= (P + $3) - (P - $2) ;

Difference = $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Price fluctuated at:

High = $3 above previous day's closing price

Low = $2 below previous day's closing price

Difference between the high and low prices for the day:

Let previous day's closing price = p

High = P + $3

Low = P - $2

Hence, expression for the difference (d) between high and low prices equals ;

d = High - Low

d = (P + $3) - (P - $2)

Hence,

d = (P + $3) - (P - $2)

d = P + $3 - P + $2

d = $5
