Answer 1

I think it is 81600 . if it is wrong don't blame me

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a mixtures and alligation question.....the cheaper  value will be -6 as it is a loss and dearer or bigger value will be 25....then,

 -6                         25

                    8

(25-8)=17              (8-(-6))=14

so our final answer in ratio will be 17:14

  so cost of hand bag= (14/17)*80000=36130
