The problem in the image asks for the total change in the value of the All-Plus stock after it dropped by an additional fraction of its previous day's change. Here's how to calculate it step by step:

Given Information:

1. The change in All-Plus stock on the first day = $-\$2.50$.
2. The next day, the stock dropped by $\frac{1}{4}$ of the previous day's change.

Solution:

1. Calculate the change on the second day: $\text{Change on second day} = \frac{1}{4} \times (-2.50) = -0.625$

2. Find the total change: Add the changes from both days: $\text{Total change} = -2.50 + (-0.625) = -3.125$

3. Round to the nearest cent: $-3.125$ rounded to the nearest cent is $-\$3.13$.

Final Answer:

The total change in the value of the All-Plus stock is $-\$3.13$.
