Question

A sells an article to B at a profit of 5%. B sells the same to C for 3213,

Please give answer without using the formulae:

$sp \: = \frac{100 +profit}{100} \times cp$
And some other are also there...like this one.Please answer without these formulae.​
Only use SP = Profit + CP

Like these both. If proit needed then for prfit and if for loss then loss formula ad so on.
I hope you understand.
