  • Question 2
    3 / -1

    A trader gives 12% additional discount on the discounted price, after giving an initial discount of 20% on the labeled price of an item. The final sale price of the item is Rs.704. Find out the labeled price?
     

    Solution

    Let the marked price be Rs. 100.
    Successive discounts of 20% and 12% were given.
    Sale price = 100 × 80/100 × 88/100 = Rs.704/10
    If the sale price is Rs.704/10, the marked price is Rs.100
    If the sale price is Rs.704, the marked price is
    = 100 × 10 × 704/704 =  Rs.1000
     

  • Question 3
    3 / -1

    A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. What is his profit percentage?
     

    Solution

    C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.

    S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 x 30) = Rs. 1680.

    Gain =(80/1600*100) % = 5%

  • Question 4
    3 / -1

    On selling 17 balls at Rs. 720, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 5 balls. What is the cost price of a ball?

    Solution

    Let the cost price of a ball be Rs. x.

    So, the CP of 17 balls is Rs. 17x.

    The CP of 5 balls is Rs. 5x.

     

    Since Loss = CP - SP

    So, 5x = 17x - 720

    On solving, we get

    12 x = 720

    that is, x = 60

    So, the cost price of a ball is Rs. 60.

  • Question 5
    3 / -1

     

    If a material is sold for Rs.34.80, there is a loss of 25%. Find out the cost price of the material?
     

     

    Solution

     

     

    The correct answer is A as
     cost price 
    =34.80×100/75
    =46.40

     

     

  • Question 6
    3 / -1

    A shopkeeper sells one more radio for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%. What is his total gain or loss percentage? 

    Solution

    Case 1) S.P of transistor = Rs 840
    Profit = 20%
    By unitary method C.P = (100/120) ×840= 700Rs
    Case 2) S.P of transistor = Rs960
    Loss = 4%
    By unitary method C.P = (100/96) × 960 = 1000 Rs
    Total C.P = 700 + 1000 =1700 Rs
    Total S.P= 840 +960 = 1800Rs
    There is a profit of = 1800 - 1700 = Rs100
    Therefore profit% = (100/1700) × 100 = 100/17 
    = 5.882% Ans
     

  • Question 7
    3 / -1

    John purchased a machine for Rs. 80,000. After spending Rs.5000 on repair and Rs.1000 on transport he sold it with 25% profit. What price did he sell the machine?

     

    Solution

    C.P. = (80000 + 5000 + 1000)
    ⇒ 86000
    As we know that Profit = 25%
    S.P. = 125% of 86000
    ⇒ (125/100 * 86000)
    ⇒ 107500 Rs.

  • Question 8
    3 / -1

    100 oranges were brought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of Rs. 48 per dozen. What is the percentage of profit or loss?  

    Solution

    So before solving this question we will get the C.P. and S.P. of 1 article to get the gain percent.

    C.P. of 1 orange = 350/100 = Rs 3.50
    S.P. of one orange = 48/12 = Rs 4 [note: divided by 12 as 1 dozen contains 12 items]
    Gain = 4 - 3.50 = Rs 0.50

    Profit

  • Question 9
    3 / -1

    When an item is sold for Rs. 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price should that plot be sold to get a gain of 15%?
     

    Solution

    85 : 18700 = 115 : x
    ⇒ x = (18700*115)/85
    x = 25300
