the manager of a produce market purchased a quantity of tomatoes for $ 0.80 per pound . due to improper handling , 10 percent of the tomatoes , by weight , were ruined and discarded . at what price per pound should the manager sell the remaining tomatoes if she wishes to make a profit on the sale of the tomatoes equal to 8 percent of the cost of the tomatoes .
"assume the manager bought 100 tomatoes . cost price = 80 given : 10 % are damaged - - > available tomatoes to sell = 90 90 * x - 80 = 0.08 * 80 90 x - 80 = 6.4 90 x = 86.64 x = 86.64 / 90 = 87 / 90 ( approx ) = 29 / 30 = 0.966 x is slightly under 0.9666 = 0.96 answer : b"
multiply(add(const_1, divide(8, const_100)), divide(0.80, divide(subtract(const_100, 10), const_100)))
