    8580.48

    Explanation:

    In December 2007 = 13407

    percentage growth = - 36% (this is because the price fell by 36%)

    In June 2009 = ?

    The Dow Jones industrial average at different times of the year had different prices due to the recession

    therefore In June 2009 Dow Jones would be

    = 13407 - (36% * 13407)

    = 13407 - (0.36 * 13407)

    = 13407 - 4826.52

    = 8580.48

    8,580

    Explanation:

    Since The Dow Jones Industrial Average is 13,407 at the beginning of the Great Recession.

    Hence, in the question it was stated that, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 36%

    Therefore, to get the present Dow Jones industrial age, it will be calculated as

    36% * 13,407

    = 36/100 * 13,407

    = 4826.52

    Therefore, 13407 - 4826.52

    = 8580.48 ~ 8580

    Hence, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in June 2009 is 8,580
