a furniture store owner decided to drop the price of her recliners by 20 % to spur business . by the end of the week she had sold 70 % more recliners . what is the percentage increase of the gross ?
say a recliner is actually worth $ 100 if she sells 100 recliners then she earns $ 10000 after the discount of 20 % , she will earn $ 80 per recliner and she sells 70 % more ie . , 170 recliners hence her sales tields 170 * 80 = $ 13600 increase in sales = 13600 - 10000 = $ 3600 so % increase = 3600 * 100 / 10000 = 36 % d is the answer
subtract(multiply(multiply(subtract(const_1, divide(20, const_100)), add(const_1, divide(70, const_100))), const_100), const_100)
