harsh.champ I think nothing is missing just for the cost which is not given in numbers but a constant 'm' so I think it's ok.harsh.champ wrote:o.5 d when we have sale.tsmith93 wrote:At Music Outlet the regular price for a CD is d dollars.

Price of a CD = dtsmith93 wrote:At Music Outlet the regular price for a CD is d dollars. How many CDs can be purchased for m dollars when the CDs are on sale at 50% off the regular price?
Amount = m
No of CDs that can be purchased with 50% discount = m/(d*50/100) = 2*m/d
