Answer 1

hope this answer is fine
assumed that total sales are 36600 and not 36660 to avoid fractional answers

Answer 2

Answer:

200 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Shirt = 3
2. Trouser = 2

1. Shirt = 3/2 * x
2. Trouser = 2/2 * x

Cost of shirt material = 50

Cost of trouser material = 90

Cost of shirt material for 3x/2 = 50 * 3x/2 = 75

Cost of trouser material for x = 90 * x = 90x

Profit of 10% (Trousers) = 10% of 90x = 10/100 * 90x = 9x

Profit of 10% (Trousers) = 12% of 75x = 12/100 * 75x = 9x

SP of trousers = 90x + 9x =99x

SP of trousers = 75x + 9x =84x

99x + 84x = 36600

183x = 36600

x = 36600/183 = 200 m
