1. Find the gain or loss percent, if:

(i) C.P. = ₹ 200 and S.P. = ₹ 224

(ii) C.P. = ₹ 450 and S.P. = ₹ 400

(iii) C.P. = ₹ 550 and gain = ₹ 22

(iv) C.P. = ₹ 216 and loss = ₹ 72

(v) S.P. = ₹ 500 and loss = ₹ 100

Solution:

(i) C.P. = ₹ 200 and S.P. = ₹ 224

We know that

Gain = S.P. – C.P.

So we get

= 224 – 200

= ₹ 24

So we get

Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P.

Substituting the values

= (24 × 100)/ 200

= 12%

(ii) C.P. = ₹ 450 and S.P. = ₹ 400

We know that

Loss = C.P. – S.P.

So we get

= 450 – 400

= ₹ 50

So we get

Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P.

Substituting the values

= (50 × 100)/ 450

= 100/9

= 11 1/9%

(iii) C.P. = ₹ 550 and gain = ₹ 22

We know that

S.P. = C.P. + gain

So we get

= 550 + 22

= ₹ 572

So we get

Gain percent = (gain × 200)/ C.P.

Substituting the values

= (22 × 100)/ 550

= 4%

(iv) C.P. = ₹ 216 and loss = ₹ 72

We know that

S.P. = C.P. – loss

So we get

= 216 – 72

= ₹ 144

So we get

Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P.

Substituting the values

= (72 × 100)/ 216

= 100/3

= 33 1/3%

(v) S.P. = ₹ 500 and loss = ₹ 100

We know that

C.P. = S.P. + loss

So we get

= 500 + 100

= ₹ 600

So we get

Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P.

Substituting the values

= (100 × 100)/ 600

= 50/3

= 16 2/3 %

2. Find the selling price, if:

(i) C.P = ₹ 500 and gain = 25%

(ii) C.P. = ₹ 60 and loss = 12 ½ %

Solution:

(i) C.P = ₹ 500 and gain = 25%

We know that

S.P. = [C.P. (100 + gain percent)]/ 100

Substituting the values

= [500 (100 + 25)]/ 100

We get

= (500 × 125)/ 100

= ₹ 625

(ii) C.P. = ₹ 60 and loss = 12 ½ %

We know that

Loss = 12 ½ % = 25/2%

Here

S.P. = [C.P. (100 – Loss percent)]/ 100

Substituting the values

= [60 (100 – 25/2)]/ 100

So we get

= [60 (200 – 25/ 2)]/ 100

We can write it as

= (60 × 175)/ (2 × 100)

= ₹ 105/2

= ₹ 52.50

3. Rohit bought a tape-recorder for ₹ 1,500 and sold it for ₹ 1,800. Calculate his profit or loss percent.

Solution:

It is given that

C.P of tape-recorder = ₹ 1,500

S.P of tape-recorder = ₹ 1,800

We know that

Gain = S.P – C. P

= 1800 – 1500

= ₹ 300

Gain percent = (Gain × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (300 × 100)/ 1500

= 20%

4. An article bought for ₹ 350 is sold at a profit of 20%. Find its selling price.

Solution:

It is given that

C.P of an article = ₹ 350

Profit = 20%

We know that

S.P = [C.P (100 + profit percent)]/ 100

Substituting the values

= [350 (100 + 20)]/ 100

So we get

= (350 × 120)/ 100

= ₹ 420

5. An old machine is bought for ₹ 1,400 and is sold at a loss of 15%. Find its selling price.

Solution:

It is given that

C.P. of the old machine = ₹ 1,400

Loss percent = 15%

We know that

S.P = [C.P (100 – loss percent)]/ 100

Substituting the values

= [1400 (100 – 15)]/ 100

By further calculation

= (1400 × 85)/ 100

= ₹ 1190

6. Oranges are bought at 5 for ₹ 10 and sold at 6 for ₹ 15. Find profit or loss as percent.

Solution:

We know that

LCM of 5 and 6 = 30

Consider that 30 oranges are bought

So the C.P of 30 oranges = (30 × 10)/ 5 = ₹ 60

S.P of 30 oranges = (30 × 15)/ 6 = ₹ 75

Gain = S.P – C.P

Substituting the values

= 75 – 60

= ₹ 15

Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (15 × 100)/ 60

= 25%

7. A certain number of articles are bought at 3 for ₹ 150 and all of them are sold at 4 for ₹ 180. Find the loss or gain as percent.

Solution:

We know that

LCM of 3 and 4 = 12

Consider that 12 articles are bought

So the C.P of 12 articles = (150 × 12)/ 3 = ₹ 600

S.P of 12 articles = (180 × 12)/ 4 = ₹ 540

Loss = C.P – S.P

Substituting the values

= 600 – 540

= ₹ 60

Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (60 × 100)/ 600

= 10%

8. A vendor bought 120 sweets at 20 p each. In his house, 18 were consumed and he sold the remaining at 30p each. Find his profit or loss as percent.

Solution:

No. of sweets bought = 120

C.P of 120 sweets = (120 × 20)/ 100 = ₹ 24

No. of sweets consumed = 18

So the balance sweets = 120 – 18 = 102

S.P of 102 sweets = (102 × 30)/ 100 = ₹ 30.60

Gain = S.P – C.P

Substituting the values

= 30.60 – 24

= ₹ 6.60

Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (6.60 × 100)/ 24

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100

= (660 × 100)/ (100 × 24)

= 55/2

= 27.5%

9. The cost price of an article is ₹ 1,200 and selling price is 5/4 times of its cost price.

Find:

(i) Selling price of the article,

(ii) Profit or loss as percent.

Solution:

It is given that

C.P of an article = ₹ 1,200

We know that

S.P = 5/4 of C.P

Substituting the values

S.P = 5/4 × 1200 = ₹ 1,500

Gain = S.P – C.P

Substituting the values

= 1500 – 1200

= ₹ 300

Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (300 × 100)/ 1200

= 25%

10. The selling price of an article is ₹ 1,200 and cost price is 5/4 times of its selling price.

Find:

(i) cost price of the article,

(ii) profit or loss as percent.

Solution:

(i) S.P of an article = ₹ 1,200

We know that

C.P = 5/4 of S.P

Substituting the values

= 5/4 × 1200

= ₹ 1,500

(ii) Loss = C.P – S.P

Substituting the values

= 1500 – 1200

= ₹ 300

Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P

Substituting the values

= (300 × 100)/ 1500

So we get

= 100/5

= 20%
