Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Sold at a profit of $\var{profit}$ %?

£Unnamed gap

Advice

Part a:

If the item is sold at a profit of $\var{profit}$ %, then the selling price will be $\var{aprofit}$ % of the cost price.

So we need to calculate $\var{a} \times \var{aprofitdec} = \var{ansone}$

Part 2 :

If the item is sold at a loss of $\var{loss}$ %, then the selling price will be $\var{aloss}$ % of the cost price.

So we need to calculate $\var{a} \times \var{alossdec}= \var{anstwo}$
