Let space CP space equals space straight x
Profit space equals space 12 percent sign space of space straight x space equals space 0.12 straight x
SP space equals space CP space plus space straight P space equals space 1.12 straight x

CP thin space less space by space 10 percent sign
CP space equals space 0.9 straight x
SP space equals space 1.12 straight x space plus space 5.75
straight P space equals space SP space minus space CP space equals space 0.22 straight x space plus space 5.75
straight P percent sign equals straight P over CP
30 over 100 equals fraction numerator 0.22 straight x space plus space 5.75 over denominator 0.9 straight x end fraction
27 straight x equals 22 straight x plus 575
straight x equals 115
CP equals 115
