a particular store purchased a stock of turtleneck sweaters and marked up its cost by 20 % . during the new year season , it further marked up its prices by 25 % of the original retail price . in february , the store then offered a discount of 20 % . what was its profit on the items sold in february ?
"assume the total price = 100 x price after 20 % markup = 120 x price after 25 % further markup = 1.25 * 120 x = 150 x price after the discount = 0.8 * 150 x = 120 x hence total profit = 20 % option a"
subtract(multiply(divide(subtract(const_100, 20), const_100), multiply(add(const_100, 20), divide(add(const_100, 25), const_100))), const_100)
