mohit sold an article for $ 27000 . had he offered a discount of 10 % on the selling price , he would have earned a profit of 8 % . what is the cost price of the article ?
"let the cp be $ x . had he offered 10 % discount , profit = 8 % profit = 8 / 100 x and hence his sp = x + 8 / 100 x = $ 1.08 x = 27000 - 10 / 100 ( 27000 ) = 27000 - 2700 = $ 22500 = > 1.08 x = 22500 = > x = 22500 b"
multiply(divide(subtract(27000, divide(multiply(27000, 10), const_100)), add(const_100, 8)), const_100)
