1. Find the cost price, if:
(i) S.P. = ₹ 21 and gain = 5%
(ii) S.P. = ₹ 22 and loss = 12%
(iii) S.P. = ₹ 340 and gain = ₹ 20
(iv) S.P. = ₹ 200 and loss = ₹ 50
(v) S.P. = ₹ 1 and loss = 5 p
Solution:
(i) S.P. = ₹ 21 and gain = 5%
We know that
C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 + gain percent)
Substituting the values
= (21 × 100)/ (100 + 5)
= (21 × 100)/ 105
So we get
= ₹ 20
(ii) S.P. = ₹ 22 and loss = 12%
We know that
C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 – loss percent)
Substituting the values
= (22 × 100)/ (100 – 12)
= (22 × 100)/ 88
So we get
= ₹ 25
(iii) S.P. = ₹ 340 and gain = ₹ 20
We know that
C.P. = S.P. – Gain
Substituting the values
= 340 – 20
= ₹ 320
(iv) S.P. = ₹ 200 and loss = ₹ 50
We know that
C.P. = S.P. + loss
Substituting the values
= 200 + 50
= ₹ 250
(v) S.P. = ₹ 1 and loss = 5 p
We know that
C.P. = S.P. + Loss
Substituting the values
= ₹ 1 + 5 p
= ₹ 1.05
2. By selling an article for ₹ 810, a loss of percent is suffered. Find its cost price.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P of an article = ₹ 810
Loss percent = 10 %
We know that
C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 – loss percent)
Substituting the values
= (810 × 100)/ (100 – 10)
So we get
= (810 × 100)/ 90
= ₹ 900
3. By selling a scooter for ₹ 9,200, a main gains 15%. Find the cost price of the scooter.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P. of the scooter = ₹ 9,200
Gain percent = 15%
We know that
C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 + gain percent)
Substituting the values
= (9200 × 100)/ (100 + 15)
= (9200 × 100)/ 115
So we get
= ₹ 8000
4. On selling an article for ₹ 2,640, a profit of 10 percent is made.
Find:
(i) cost price of the article.
(ii) new selling price of it, in order to gain 15%.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P. of an article = ₹ 2,640
Gain percent = 10%
(i) C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 + gain percent)
Substituting the values
= (2640 × 100)/ (100 + 10)
= (2640 × 100)/ 110
So we get
= ₹ 2400
(ii) Gain percent = 15%
S.P. = [C.P. (100 + gain percent)]/ 100
Substituting the values
= [2400 (100 + 15)]/ 100
So we get
= (2400 × 115)/ 100
= ₹ 2760
5. A T.V. set is sold for ₹ 6,800 at a loss of 15%.
Find:
(i) cost price of the T.V. set.
(ii) new selling price of it, in order to gain 12%.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P. of the T.V. set = ₹ 6,800
Loss percent = 15%
(i) C.P. = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 – loss percent)
Substituting the values
= (6800 × 100)/ (100 – 15)
So we get
= (6800 × 100)/ 85
= ₹ 8000
(ii) Gain percent = 12%
We know that
S.P. = [C.P. (100 + gain percent)]/ 100
Substituting the values
= [8000 (100 + 12)]/ 100
So we get
= (8000 × 112)/ 100
= ₹ 8960
6. A fruit seller bought mangoes at ₹ 90 per dozen and sold them at a loss of 8 percent. How much will a customer pay for:
(i) one mango
(ii) 40 mangoes
Solution:
It is given that
C.P. of 1 dozen mangoes = ₹ 90
Loss percent = 8%
Here the S.P of 1 dozen mangoes = [C.P. (100 – loss percent)]/ 100
Substituting the values
= [900 (100 – 8)]/ 100
So we get
= (90 × 92)/ 100
= ₹ 82.80
(i) S.P. of one mango = 82.80/12 = ₹ 6.90
(ii) S.P. of 40 mangoes = 6.90 × 40 = ₹ 276
7. By selling two transistors for ₹ 600 each, a shopkeeper gains 20 percent on one transistor and loses 20 percent on the other.
Find:
(i) C.P. of each transistor.
(ii) total C.P. and total S.P. of both the transistors.
(iii) profit or loss percent on the whole.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P of first transistor = ₹ 600
Gain percent = 20%
(i) C.P = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 + gain percent)
Substituting the values
= (600 × 100)/ (100 + 20)
= (600 × 100)/ 120
So we get
= ₹ 500
S.P of the second transistor = ₹ 600
Loss percent = 20%
So the C.P of the other transistor = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 – loss percent)
Substituting the values
= (600 × 100)/ (100 – 20)
So we get
= (600 × 100)/ 80
= ₹ 750
Hence, C.P of the two transistors are ₹ 500 and ₹ 750.
(ii) Total C.P of both the transistors = 500 + 750 = ₹ 1250
Total S.P of both the transistors = 600 + 600 = ₹ 1200
(iii) We know that
Total loss = C.P – S.P
Substituting the values
= 1250 – 1200
= ₹ 50
So the loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= (50 × 100)/ 1250
= 4%
8. Mangoes are bought at 20 for ₹ 60. If they are sold at a profit of 33 1/3 percent, find:
(i) selling price of each mango.
(ii) S.P. of 8 mangoes.
Solution:
It is given that
C.P of 20 mangoes = ₹ 60
Gain percent = 33 1/3 % = 100/3 %
S.P of 20 mangoes = [C.P. (100 + gain percent)]/ 100
Substituting the values
= [60 (100 + 100/3)]/ 100
So we get
= (60 × 400)/ (100 × 3)
= ₹ 80
(i) S.P of one mango = 80/20 = ₹ 4
(ii) S.P of 8 mangoes = 4 × 8 = ₹ 32
9. Find the cost price of an article, which is sold for ₹ 4,050 at a loss of 10%. Also, find the new selling price of the article which must give a profit of 8%.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P of an article = ₹ 4,050
Loss percent = 10%
(i) C.P of the article = (S.P. × 100)/ (100 – loss percent)
Substituting the values
= (4050 × 100)/ (100 – 10)
So we get
= (4050 × 100)/ 90
= ₹ 4500
(ii) Gain percent = 8%
S.P of the article = [C.P. (100 + gain percent)]/ 100
Substituting the values
= [4500 (100 + 8)]/ 100
So we get
= (4500 × 108)/ 100
= ₹ 4860
10. By selling an article for ₹ 825, a man losses an amount equal to 1/3 of its selling price. Find:
(i) the cost price of the article.
(ii) the profit percent or the loss percent made, if the same article is sold for ₹ 1,265.
Solution:
It is given that
S.P of an article = ₹ 825
Loss = 1/3 of S.P = 1/3 × 825 = ₹ 275
(i) C.P = S.P + Loss
Substituting the values
= 825 + 275
= ₹ 1100
(ii) S.P = ₹ 1265
We know that
Gain = S.P – C.P
Substituting the values
= 1265 – 1100
= ₹ 165
Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= (165 × 100)/ 1100
= 15%
11. Find the loss or gain as percent, if the C.P. of articles, all of the same kind, is equal to S.P. of 8 articles.
Solution:
Consider C.P of 10 articles = S.P of 8 articles = ₹ 80
So the C.P of 1 article = 80/10 = ₹ 8
S.P of 1 article = 80/8 = ₹ 10
We know that
Gain = S.P – C.P
Substituting the values
= 10 – 8
= ₹ 2
Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= (2 × 100)/ 8
= 25%
12. Find the loss or gain as percent, if the C.P. of 8 articles, all of the same kind, is equal to S.P. of 10 articles.
Solution:
Consider C.P of 8 articles = S.P of 10 articles = ₹ 80
So the C.P of 1 article = 80/8 = ₹ 10
S.P of 1 article = 80/10 = ₹ 8
We know that
Loss = C.P – S.P
Substituting the values
= 10 – 8
= ₹ 2
Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= (2 × 100)/ 10
= 20%
13. The cost price of an article is 96% of its selling price. Find the loss or the gain as percent on the whole.
Solution:
Consider S.P = ₹ 100
We know that
C.P = 96% of S.P
So we get
= 96/100 × 100
= ₹ 96
Gain = 100 – 96 = ₹ 4
Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= 4/96 × 100%
= 25/6 or 4 1/6%
14. The selling price of an article is 96% of its cost price. Find the loss or the gain as percent on the whole.
Solution:
Consider C.P = ₹ 100
S.P = 96% of C.P
So we get
= 96/100 × 100
= ₹ 96
Loss = 100 – 96 = ₹ 4
Loss percent = (loss × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= 4/100 × 100%
= 4 %
15. Hundred oranges are bought for ₹ 350 and all of them are sold at the rate of ₹ 48 per dozen. Find the profit percent or loss percent made.
Solution:
It is given that
C.P of one orange = 350/100 = ₹ 3.50
S.P of one orange = 48/12 = ₹ 4
Gain = 4 – 3.50 = ₹ 0.50
Gain percent = (gain × 100)/ C.P
Substituting the values
= 0.50/3.50 × 100%
= 14 2/7 %
