Answer:

A) it costs $4.8

B) 45%

C) 35% discount

Explanation:

The equation:

12 x 0.6 = 7.2

7.2 represents the profit. To find the cost:

12 - 7.2 = 4.8

The answer is 4.8

17.40 - 12 = 5.4

Now

divide the difference of the prices by the original price:

5.4/12 = 0.45

Turn into percent

45%

Now:

17.40 - 11.31 = 6.09

Same before:

Difference of prices divided by original price

17.40/6.09 = 0.35

35%
