a retailer purchases shirts from a wholesaler and then sells the shirts in her store at a retail price that is 80 percent greater than the wholesale price . if the retailer decreases the retail price by 25 percent this will have the same effect as increasing the wholesale price by what percent ?
"answer : c = 35 . assume rs . 100 to be the price at which the retailer buys from wholesaler . 80 % increase makes retail price = 180 . now 25 % decrease - > ( 1 - 25 / 100 ) * 180 = 135 . now compared to the wholesale price of 100 , 35 % increase is what will have the same effect as increasing the wholesale price ."
multiply(subtract(multiply(add(const_1, divide(80, const_100)), subtract(const_1, divide(25, const_100))), const_1), const_100)
