Rachana bought 5 kg of sugar at Rs 180. She sold the sugar and gained a profit of Rs 30. Find the selling price of the sugar?

Solution:

The cost price of 5 kg of sugar=Rs 180
Profit gained by selling the sugar=Rs 30
The selling price of sugar=Cost price of sugar+Profit gained by selling the sugar
=180+30
=210
Hence, the selling price of sugar is Rs 210.


Example 2.
A shopkeeper sold 20 toys for Rs3000 and gained a profit of Rs 500. Find the cost price of 20 toys?

Solution:

The selling price of 20 toys=3000
Profit gained by selling the toys=500
The cost price of 20 toys=selling prices of toys-profit gained by selling the toys
=3000-500
=2500
Therefore, the cost price of toys is Rs 2500.


Example 3.
The scooter is bought at Rs 25000 and the money spent for repairs is 2000. He sold the scooter at a profit of Rs 5000. At what price did he sell the scooter?

Solution:

The scooter is bought at= Rs 25000
Money spent on repairs=Rs 2000
Total money spent on scooter=Rs 25000+Rs 2000
=27000
Hence 27000 will be the cost price of the scooter.
Profit gained by selling the scooter=5000
The selling price of the scooter=cost price of the scooter+profit gained by selling the scooter
=27000+5000
=32000
Therefore, the scooter is sold at Rs 32000.


Example 4.
Rama bought the material for the dress at Rs 800. She spent Rs 580 on stitching. She gained a profit of Rs 1800. At what price did Rama sell the dress?

Rama bought the dress material=Rs 800
Rama spent on stitching=Rs 580
Total money spent on dress=Rs 800+Rs 580
=1,380
Hence, the cost price of the dress is Rs 1,380.
Profit gained=1800
The selling price of dress=cost price+profit
=1380+1800
=3180
Therefore, Rama sold the dress at Rs 3180.


Example 5.
On selling a computer for Rs 20,000 a trader gains a profit of 15%. Find the cost price of the computer?

Solution:

selling price=20,000
Profit=15%
The cost price of the computer=[100/(100+profit%)] * selling price
=100/(100+15)*20,000
=100/115*20,000
=17,391.30.
Hence, the cost price of the computer is 17,391.30


Example 6.
A man sold two shares at Rs 2500 each. On one he made a gain of 15% and on the other, he lost 8%. Find the cost price of both the shares and the total cost price of both the shares?

Solution:

The selling price of first share=2500
Profit=15%
The cost price of the first share=[100/(100+profit%)]* selling price
100/(100+15) * selling price
=100/115 *2500
=Rs 2,173.91
Hence, the cost price of the first share is 2,173.91.
Similarly cost price of second share=100/(100- loss%) * selling price
=100/(100-8) * 2500
=100/92 *2500
=2,717.39
Hence, the cost price of the second share is 2,717.39.
Total cost price of both the shares=2,173.91+2,717.39=4,891.3.


Example 7.
By selling a wooden table for Rs 8750 trader lost 10%. Find the cost price of the table?

Solution:

The selling price of wooden table=Rs 8750
Loss=10%
The cost price of wooden table=[100/(100-loss%)]* selling price
=100/100-10*8750
=100/90*8750
=9722.22
Hence, the cost price of the wooden table is 9722.22.


Example 8.
Anil buys an led tv for Rs 15,580 and sells it at a loss of 13%. Find the selling price of the TV?

Solution:

The cost price of the Tv=15,580
loss=13%
Selling price=[(100-loss%)/100]* c.p
=[100-13/100] * 15,580
=87/100 *15,580
=13,554
Therefore, Anil sold the led tv for Rs 13,554.


Example 9.
The cost of the watch is 1050 and the handbag is 1350. The shopkeeper sold both and gained a profit of 20% on each. Find the selling price of both and how much money he got?

Solution:

The cost of the watch is =1050
The cost of the handbag is =1350
Profit=20%
The selling price of watch=[(100+profit%)/100]* cost price
=[(100+20)/100]* 1050
=(120/100)*1050
=1,260
The selling price of hand bag=[(100+profit%)/100]* cost price
=[(100+20)/100]* 1350
=(120/100)*1350
=1,620
The selling price of both=1260+1620=2880.
Hence, the shopkeeper sold both the watch and handbag and got the money of Rs 2880.

Anand wants a profit=20%
Anand should sell the house=[(100+profit%)/100]* cost price
=[(100+20)/100]* 4083390
=[(120)/100]* 4083390
=4900068
Therefore, Anand should sell the house For Rs 4900068.

The cost price of the books=Rs 500
Bookseller got profit on first book=5%
The cost price of first book=[100/(100+profit%)]* selling price
=100/(100+5)*500
=100/105*500
=475
The cost price of second book=[100/(100+profit%)]* selling price
=100/(100+10)*500
=100/110*500
=450
Therefore, the cost price of the books is 475,450.
