Hello!

The cost of the book is $150.

CP =

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 =

CP =

CP = 150

$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

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
