Answer and Solutions:
Answer: No profit no loss
Solution: CP for 15 notebooks = Rs. 400
Cp for 1 notebook = Rs. 450/15 = Rs. 30
SP for 10 notebooks = Rs. 300
Sp for 1 notebook = Rs.300/10 = Rs. 30
As CP for 1 book = SP for 1 book
Hence, No Profit no loss.
Answer: 150
Solution: Profit = Rs. 50 (SP – CP) …(i)
P% = 5%, (SP – CP)/CP (using above equation (i)
5% = (SP-CP) *100/CP
0.05 = 50 /CP
CP = Rs. 1000
Loss % =15%
Loss = Loss% *CP = 15%*1000 = 150
Loss amount = Rs. 150
Answer:
Solution: Let the Cost Price of the erticle be Rs. 100, and mark up by 10%
List price = CP * (1+Mark up %) = 100* (1+0.1) = Rs. 110
Solution: Let the cost price of 1000gms is Rs. 100
CP of 10 gms = Rs. 1
Selling Price for 990gms of Rice = Rs. 1*99 =Rs. 99
Even if the shopkeeper is weighing less rice he is making loss,
Loss= CP-SP = 100-99 = Rs.1
Loss % = 1*100/100 = 1%
Answer: Rs. 111
Solution: In such questions start from the top when the retailer bought the item and start solving from there.
Let the Label Price be Rs. 100
After the discount of 20%, the retailer buys it at Rs. 100(1-0.2) = Rs. 80
The retailer wants a profit of 25% but mark up the price such that he can a give a discount of 10%, hence first we will find SP at which he can get 25% and the mark up the d% in that SP.
SP for the Scarf = Rs. 80(1+0.25) = Rs. 100
To sell at 100 after giving 10% discount, Markup = 100/(1- 0.1) = Rs. 111.1
Answer: Rs 117.5
Solution: MP = Rs. 120
Discount = 5%
SP = MP(1-d%) = 120(1-0.05) = 120*0.95 = 114
Loss = 3%
L% = (C – S)*100 /C
Or C= S/(1-L%) = 114/(1-0.03) = 114/0.97 = Rs.117.5
Answer: Shopkeeper P
Solution: Let the Listed Price of the article for both the shopkeepers be Rs. 100
Shopkeeper P Selling Price= Mp(1-d1%)(1-d2%) = Rs. 100(1-0.2)*(1-0.1)
