let us take the price of stock as 100 in march for convenience as we can easily get a percentage directly. There was a increase in its price and then a decrease so the final price would be \(100*1.4*0.7 = 98\)

The Question is Asking _The stock’s value in May was what percent of its value in March?...But 98 is the Price of Product in the May..
In my Opinion..% need to be calculated?
98/140*100
