In a mythical country where the number system is base 5, the soap price is increased 40 base 5 percent later the new price is reduced by 40 base 5, what percent of the original price is base 5
---------
40 base 5 = 20 decimal.
--------------
P = 1.2*P
Then P = 0.8*(1.2P) = 0.96P
--> 96% of the starting price.
96 decimal = 341 base 5
