(v) The total bill amount of a shirt costing ₹ 575 and a T-shirt costing ₹ 325 with GST of 5% is ________ .
Answer:
Cost of price shirt = ₹ 575 (CP)
GST = 5%
Cost of price shirt = ₹ 325 (CP)
GST = 5%
∴ Total bill amount = ₹ 603.75 + ₹ 341.25 = ₹ 945
Question 2.
If selling an article for ₹ 820 causes 10% loss on the selling price, then find its cost price.
Answer:
Given that selling price (SP) = ₹ 820
Loss % = 10 %
Question 3.
If the profit earned on selling an article for ₹ 810 is the same as loss on selling it for ₹ 530, then find the cost price of the article.
Answer:
Case 1: Profit = Selling price (SP) – Cost price (CP)
Case 2: Loss = Cost price (CP) – Selling price (SP)
Given that profit of case 1 = loss of case 2
∴ P = 810 – CP
L = CP – 530
Since profit (P) = loss (L)
810 – CP = CP – 530
∴ 2CP = 810 + 530 = 1340 ⇒ C.P = 1340/2
∴ CP = 670
Question 4.
If the selling price of 10 rulers is the same as the cost price of 15 rulers, then find the profit percentage.
Answer:
Let cost price of one ruler be x
Given that selling price (SP) of 10 rulers.
i.e., same as cost price (CP) of 15 rulers
∴ SP of 10 rulers = 15 × x = 15x
∴ SP of 1 ruler = 15x/10 = 1.5x
∴ Gain = SP of 1 ruler – CP of 1 ruler = 1.5x – x = 0.5x
Question 5.
Some articles are bought at 2 for ₹ 15 and sold at 3 for ₹ 25. Find the gain percentage.
Question 6.
By selling a speaker for ₹ 768, a man loses 20%. In order to gain 20%, how much should he sell the speaker?
Answer:
Selling price (SP) of speaker = ₹ 768
Loss % = 20 %
as per formula
∴ CP = 768×100/80 = 960
For gain of 20%, we should now calculate the selling price
= 96 × 12 = ₹ 1152
