Answer»

Let CP = x

Then, according to the question,

120/100(x−475)=(530−x)

6/5(x−475)=(530−x)

(6x−2850)=(2650−5x)

11x = 5500

Therefore, x = Rs.500

Therefore, Required SP = 500×120/100 = Rs.600

Answer»

In this type of transaction there is only loss and to calculate the total loss percent we use this formula :: (common loss and gain percent / 10) square.Here common loss and gain percent is 20.So, (20/10)square 2 square. = 2 × 2 =4% is total loss percent. SP = 240000.Therefore CP = 240000÷ 100 - loss% × 100. =240000 ÷ 96 × 100= 2500 × 100 = 250000Therefore CP = ₹ 250000Therefore loss = CP - SP = 250000-240000=10000Therefore, loss of ₹ 10000

Answer»

The article should be marked at Rs. 500.After allowing 10% discount, price will be Rs. 450.Profit = S. P. ( after discount) - C. P.=450-375=Rs.75So the profit after allowing discount will be 75 Rs.Profit percentage = Profit÷C. P × 100=75÷375× 100=20%Your target profit is achieved!So to earn a profit of 20 % after giving discount of 10%, the price of the product must be Rs. 500.

16.

er allows a discount of 5% for cash payment. How much % above cost price must hemark his goods to make a profit of 10% ?

Answer»

30%

Here’s how…

Cost Price = 100

Profit intended = 17%

So, Selling Price = 117

But this 117 is after 10% discount on marked price.

So, Marked Price * 0.9 = 117

i.e Marked Price = 117/0.9 which is equal to 130.

Abicycle was sold for 1760 at a loss of 12%. What was its cost price.Dinesh gains 20% by selling motorcyclegain 32% as a profit?25,000. At what price must he sell his motorcyclelid not know the actual price ofis old motorcycle for

Answer»

1) SP of cycle = CP - (12/100)CP 1760 = CP(1 - 3/25) 1760 = CP(22/25) CP = 1760*25/22 = 80*25 CP = 2000

2) SP = CP(1 + 20/100) 25000 = CP(1 + 1/5) 25000 = CP(6/5) CP = 25000*5/6 = 20833.3

For profit of 32% SP = CP(1 + 32/100) = 20833.3(1 +8/25) = 20833.3(33/25) = 27500

Hello mate

here's your answer

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Let the CP of each horses be x

in one horse he made gain =20%

=>20% of x

Hence,

Cp of one horse is 15000.

In another horse loss =20%20% of x

Hence,

Total CP =>15000+22500 =>37500

Total SP =>18000+18000=>36000

Loss =>CP - SP =>37500-36000=>1500So, Total loss is 1500.

Answer»

total sold price is = 49500*2 = 99000 when horse was sold at 10% loss then sp = 100%cp - 10%cp cp=sp/0.9 = 49500/0.9 = 55000now, for cow , cp+ 0.1cp = sp => cp = sp/1.1 = 49500/1.1= 45000total cp = 45000+55000 = 1,00,000

so, the loss will be cp -sp = 1000. option B is correct.

2. The slant height of a frustum of a cone is 4 cm aluthe perimeters (circumference) of its circular endsare 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the curved surface area ofthe frustum.

Answer»

Given slant height(l)=4cm

Circumference1(C1)=18cm

2 pie r1 = 18cm

2*22/7*r1 = 18cm

therefore, r1 = 63/22cm

similarily C2 = 6cm

so, r2 = 21/22cm

now CSA of frustum of cone = pie l (r1+r2)

22/7*4(63/22+21/22)

84/22 * 4 * 22/7

=48 sq. cm.--
