if xerox paper costs 5 cents a sheet and a buyer gets 10 % discount on all xerox paper one buys after the first 2000 papers and 20 % discount after first 10000 papers , how much will it cost to buy 35000 sheets of xerox paper ?
"30 sec approach - solve it using approximation 35000 sheet at full price , 5 cent = 1750 35000 sheet at max discount price , 4 cent = 1400 your ans got to be between these two . ans c it is ."
multiply(subtract(10000, 2000), multiply(subtract(const_1, divide(const_1, 10)), divide(const_1, 10)))
