Answer:

\(\frac{x*y}{w} *100\)

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much shares have each shareholder you have to multiply the shareholders by the shares they own, so:

\(x*y\)

if we want to know the amount comparing to the total of shares of stock, you get:

\(\frac{x*y}{w}\)

And to know the percentage you have to multiply by 100:

\(\frac{x*y}{w} *100\)
