Hello!

Answer:

The cost of the book is $150.

______________________________

Explanation:

CP = [tex]\frac{SP(100)}{100 + PP}[/tex]

Basically, what this formula is saying is that to find the cost price (CP), we must multiply the sale price (SP) by 100, and divide the product by the sum of 100 + profit percentage (PP).

CP = [tex]\frac{180(100)}{100 + 20}[/tex]

CP = [tex]\frac{18000}{120}[/tex]

CP = 150

       

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp=x

(20/100*x) +x=180

1/5x+x=180

6x/5=180

6x=180*5

x=(180*5)/6

x=150
