a man bought 10 crates of mangoes for $ 40 total. if he lost 2 of the crates, at what price would he have to sell each of the remaining crates in order to earn a total profit of 20 percent of the total cost?
divide(add(40, multiply(40, divide(20, const_100))), subtract(10, 2))
as given , after lost , the remaining 8 crates total cost = $ 40 so , 1 crate cost = 40 / 8 = 5 to get 20 % profit , 1 crate cost should be = 5 + 5 * 20 / 100 = $ 6 answer : a
