Answer 1

Answer:

one bicycle is 7454.55 and the other is 9318.18

Step-by-step explanation:

consider 2 cycles let us name A and B

for A cycle

sp is 8200

profit is 10 percent

by formula

cp=(sp/ (100+profit))*100

=(8200/(100+10))*100

7454.55

similarly for B cycle

loss is 12 percent

cp=(sp/ (100-loss))*100

=(8200/(100-12))*100

=(8200/88)*100

=9318.18
