Answer:

50 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

After reduction, he bought x computers hence price per unit was 1800000/x

Before reduction, price per unit was 1800000/(x-5)

The difference in the price is 4000 hence

\frac {1800000}{x}-\frac {1800000}{x-5}=4000\\4x^{2}-20x+9000=0\\x^{2}-5x+2250=0\\(x+45)(x-50)=0\\x=50 or -45

Therefore, x=50
