Now comma space straight x equals fraction numerator 100 minus 5 over denominator 100 end fraction cross times straight C. straight P. equals 0.95 cross times straight C. straight P.
If space straight S. straight P. equals straight x plus 104 comma space then space gain equals 8 percent sign
straight x plus 104 equals fraction numerator 100 plus 8 over denominator 100 end fraction cross times straight C. straight P.
rightwards double arrow straight x plus 104 equals 1.08 cross times straight C. straight P.
rightwards double arrow 0.95 cross times straight C. straight P. plus 104 equals 1.08 cross times straight C. straight P.
