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 %
