Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

let the CP of the ketchup = x

now according to the question

x+18%x = 177 - 1

x+12%x = 168. -2

solve any equation u will get 150 as answer

if we solve equation 1

x+18x/100 = 177

118x/100 = 177

x=17700/118

x=150

if we solve equation 2

x+12x/100=168

112x/100=168

x=16800/112

x=150
