#For the past week, you've been watching your coworker Harold use a calculator to manually track stock price fluctuations. Harold spends three hours every day tracking his stocks this way, logging the stock's original price (from the day before), the current price, and the percentage of increase or decrease. You know that automating this calculation would streamline Harold's daily process, leaving more time for making investment decisions. Your new Python skills can help you achieve this for him.
#In this activity, create a Python program to automate Harold's process by programmatically implementing the percent increase calculation.
#Start small by identifying the percent increase in price for Apple stock. Yesterday at 9:00 a.m., Apple's stock price was $198.87. At close of market today, the stock price was $254.32. Calculate the percent increase using the following formulas:
#Increase = Current Price - Original Price
#Percent Increase = Increase / Original x 100
original_price=198.87
print(original_price)
