Find in terms of x ;
(i) the cost price of one pen drive
(ii) the number of pen drives she sold
(iii) the selling price of one pen drive
(iv) an expression for the total sum that she received from the sale
b) If she made a profit of GH¢12,000.00 from the sales, Find;
(i) the number of pen drives she originally bought
(ii) the cost price for a pen drive.
