Given:
Amount invested in stock market = $500
Amount gained in first week = $200
So, Total amount after 1st week = $(500+200)
= $700
Amount got doubled in the 2nd week,
So, Total amount after 2nd week = $700 × 2
= $1400
Amount lost in 3rd week = $650
So, Total amount after 3rd week = $(1400 - 650)
= $750
Thus, the man had $750 after the 3rd week.
