Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer!!!

Answer 2

let the cp be x

loss=12%of x

=3x/25

so sp=x-3x/25=22x/25

if ge sold for 3600 more then

sp=22x/25+3600

profit=22x/25+3600-x

=3600-3x/25

profit%=18

100(3600-3x/25)/x=18

3600-3x/25=18x/100

3600=9x/50+3x/25

3600=15x/50

3600=3x/10

x=12000
