An wholesaler purchases a batch of goods at a cost price of \(\text{₦}8,000\). He marks them up by 25\% to obtain the marked price. He then offers a trade discount of 5\% on the marked price. After the trade discount, a cash discount of \(d\)\% (on the discounted price) may be allowed for payment within 10 days.
