Let's denote the number of stocks that went up as

x

.
Given that 5 stocks went up for every 6 that went down, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{x}{750} = \frac{5}{6}

Cross multiply to solve for

x

:

6x = 750 \times 5

6x = 3750

x = \frac{3750}{6}

x = 625

Therefore, 625 stocks went up.
$\boxed{625}$ stocks went up.
