Define discount percentage with respect to marked price.

Discount is defined as the amount of rebate given on the label price (marked price) of an article.

It is given by merchants/shopkeepers for attracting customers for increasing their sales.

Discount percentage

$= \left[\dfrac{\left(Discount\right)}{\left(Marked \ price\right)}\right]× 100$ .

A dress is sold at $Rs. 550$ after allowing a discount of $12$ %. Find its marked price

Given, Rate of discount

$= 12$ %

Let the marked price be

$Rs. x$ .

Then,

$S.P. = x - 12\% \ of \ x \\= x-\dfrac{12}{100}x \\=x-0.12x=0.88x$

Given,

$S.P. = Rs. 550$

$0.88 x = 550$

$x=\dfrac{100 \times 550}{88} \\ \ = \dfrac{55000}{88} = 625$

Marked price

$= Rs. 625$ .

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was $20$ %. If the amount he pays is $Rs.\ 1,600$ , find the marked price.

Discount

$1600$

Marked price

$=\dfrac { 100 }{ 80 }\times1600 =$ Rs

$2000$

Marked price

$=$ Rs

$2000$

Before beginning her diet, Janet weighed $125$ pounds. After completing the diet, she weighed $110$ pounds. What percent of her weight did she lose?

The weight she lost during diet is

$125-110 = 15$ pounds

The percent of weight she lost is

$\frac{15}{125} \times 100 = 12$ %

What percent of 20 is 30?

Let

$x\%$ of

$20$ be

$30$ .

Hence,

$x\% \ of\ 20 = 30$

In math, 'of' means multiply.

Hence, on replacing 'of' with multiply, we get:

$\therefore\ x\% \times 20 = 30$

$\Rightarrow \ \dfrac{x}{100} \times 20 = 30$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{30}{20} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac {3}{2}\times 100$

$=150\%$

Hence,

$30$ is

$150\%$ of

$20$ .

During a sale, a shop offered a discount of $10$ % on the marked prices of all the items. What would a customer have to pay for one jeans marked at $Rs. 1450$ and two shirts marked at $Rs. 850$ each?

Discount on the jeans

$= 10\%$ of Rs

$1450$ =

$1450\times\dfrac{10}{100}$

$= Rs$

$145$

Costs of both the shirts

$=$ Rs

$850 + 850 = 1700$

Discount on the the two shirts

$= 10\%$ of Rs

$1700$ =

$1700\times\dfrac{10}{100}$

$Rs$

$170$

Total discount

$=$ Rs

$145 + 170 =$ Rs

$315$

Selling of the goods

$= (1450 + 1700) - 315 =$ Rs

$3150 - 315 =$ Rs

$2835$

A person pays $2,800$ for a cooler listed at $3,500$ . Find the discount percent offered.

Discount offered

$=\cfrac{3500-2800}{2800}\times 100=20\%$

Hence

$20\%$ discount offered.

Find the discount when the marked price is Rs. $25$ and the selling price is Rs. $23$ .

Given, Selling Price

$=Rs. 23$ and Marked Price

$=25$
Selling Price

$=$ Marked Price

$-$ Discount

$\therefore$ Discount

$=$ Marked Price

$-$ Selling Price

$=Rs. 25- Rs. 23$

$Rs. 2$
Thus, discount is

$Rs. 2$ .

Find: $0.6\ \%\ of\ 45=\dfrac{m}{100}$ . Find $m$

$\dfrac {6}{10}$ % of 45 =

$\left (\dfrac {6}{10}÷100\right) ×45$

$=\dfrac {\dfrac {6}{10}×45}{100}$

$=\dfrac {27}{100}$

Find $32 \%\ of\ 425$

Solution:-

$32 \% \text{ of } 425 = \cfrac{32}{100} \times 425 = 8 \times 17 = 136$

Hence,

$32 \% \text{ of } 425$ is

$136.$

Ankit bought a pair of shoes at a discount of $30\%$ . If he paid Rs. $1,250$ , find the marked price.

Let the marked price be

$x$

Now,

$SP = (100 - discount)\% \times MP$

$\Rightarrow SP = (100 - 30)\% \times MP$

$\Rightarrow 1250 = 70\% \times MP$

$\Rightarrow MP = 1250 \times \dfrac{{100}}{{70}} = 1785.71$ rupees

Find the gain or loss:
C.P. $=$ Rs. $3.50$ ; S.P. $=$ Rs. $4.25$ .

Here, Cost price

$=Rs.\ 3.50$

and Selling Price

$= Rs.\ 4.25$

Since,

$S.P > C.P.$

There is a gain.

Now, Gain

$= S.P. - C.P. = Rs.(4.25 - 3.50)=Rs.\ 0.75$

Hence, the gain is

$Rs.\ 0.75$

Find the gain or loss.
C.P. $=$ Rs. $112.25$ ; S.P. $=$ Rs. $131.00$ .

now, S.P. - C.P. = (131.00 - 112.25)Rs.

$S.P - C.P. = 18.75> 0.$

$\therefore S.P. - C.P. > 0$

$\therefore S.P. > C.P.$

So, From CP & SP, We gain.

A firm, dealing in furniture, allows $4\%$ discount on the marked price of each item. What price must be marked on a dining table which costs Rs. $400$ to assemble, so as to make a profit of $20\%$ ?

Profit given

$=20\%$
Thus ,S.P

$=$

$\dfrac{120\times400}{100}= 480$
Discount given

$=4\%$
Then M.P

$=$

$\dfrac{100}{100-discount}\times S.P$

So M.P

$=$

$\dfrac{100}{100-4}\times 480$

$=$

$\dfrac{100}{96}\times 480$

$=500$ Rs

Hence, M'P

$=$ Rs.

$500$

Find which of the following discount series is better for the customer :
$(i) 30\%, 20\%,$ and $10\%; \\$
$(ii) 25\%, 20\%,$ and $15\%.$

(1) M.P is Rs. $100$
so selling price after $30\%$ discount $=$ $100-30=$ Rs. $70$
There after selling price $20\%$ discount = $\dfrac{70\times 80}{100}=$ Rs. $56$

There after selling price $10\%$ discount = $\dfrac{90\times 56}{100}=$ Rs. $50.40$

(ii)1) M.P is Rs. $100$
so selling price after $25\%$ discount = $100-25=$ Rs. $75$
There after selling price $20$ % discount = $\dfrac{75\times 80}{100}=$ Rs. $60$

There after selling price $15\%$ discount $=$ $\dfrac{85\times 60}{100}=$ Rs. $51$
So, costumer get lower cost on (i) option is better

A shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of $10\%$ and $15\%$ on his articles. If he gets Rs. $459$ for an article, find its marked price.

Successive Discounts given are

$10\%$ and

$15\%$

$S.P. = M.P. \times \dfrac{100-10}{100} \times \dfrac{100-15}{100}$

$459 = M.P. \times \dfrac{90\times85}{10000}$

$M.P. = \dfrac{459}{0.765}$

$\Rightarrow$

$M.P. = 600$

David started a business establishment by investing Rs.After 4 months William entered into a partnership by investing a certain amount. At the end of the year, the profit was shared in the ratio 9 :Find how much money was invested by William.

Let William invested Rs.x

Profit sharing ratio

$= 15000 \times 12 : 8x = 1; 80,000 = 8x$
Also profit ratio

$= 9 : 8$

$\therefore$ ATP

$180000 : 8x = 9 : 8$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{180000\times 8}{9\times 8}=x$

$\Rightarrow x=Rs.20,000$

Find discount in percent when M.P.=Rs.500 and S.P.=Rs.425

Marked Price = Rs 500
Selling Price = Rs 425
Discount =

$500 - 425 = 75$
Discount (%) =

$\dfrac{75}{500} \times 100 = \dfrac{75}{5} = 15$ %

Find discount in percent when M.P.= Rs.900 and S.P.=Rs.873

Marked Price = Rs 900
Selling Price = Rs 873
Discount =

$900 - 873 = 27$
Discount (%) =

$\dfrac{27}{900} \times 100 = \dfrac{27}{9} = 3$ %

Fins a single discount equivalent (in $\%$ ) to the discount series $25\%, 20\%$ and $10\%$

Let the marked price of the article be Rs.

$100$ .

Then a single discount equivalent to the discount series is

$\displaystyle =(100-\frac{100-25}{100}\times \frac{100-20}{100}\times \frac{100-10}{100}\times 100)\%$

$\displaystyle =(100-\frac{75}{100}\times \frac{80}{100}\times \frac{90}{100}\times 100)\%$

$\displaystyle =(100-\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{4}{5}\times \frac{9}{10}\times 100)\%$

$=(100 - 54)\%$
Hence, the given discount series is equivalent to a single discount of

$46\%$ .

The marked price of a woolen coat is RsIt is sold at a discount of $15 \%$ The shopkeeper has allowed a further discount of 5% due to off season Find the selling price (in Rs) of the coat

Marked price = Rs.

$2000$ 1st discount =

$15% of Rs.2000 =$ Rs.

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{100}\times 2000=Rs.300$

$\therefore$ The reduced marked price after the 1st discount = Rs.

$2000 - Rs.300 = Rs.1700$
2nd discount due to off-season =

$5$ % of Rs.

$1700$ = Rs.

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{100}\times 1700=Rs.85$
Hence the final reduced price after the 2nd discount
=

$Rs.1700 - Rs.85$
=

$Rs. 1615 =$

$S.P.$
Hence the required

$S.P.$ of the coat is Rs.

$1615$

A man buys an article and sells it at a profit of $20$ %. If he would buy it at $20$ % less and sell it for Rs $75$ less he would have gained $25$ %. What is the cost price (in Rs) of the article?

Let the C.P. of the article be Rs. x

He makes a profit of 20%

Hence,

S.P. = Rs.

$\displaystyle \frac{120x}{100}$

$=Rs.\frac{6x}{5}$

If he would buy it at 20% less then new C.P. = Rsx

$\displaystyle \left ( 1-\frac{20}{100} \right )$

$=Rs.x\left ( 1-\dfrac{1}{5} \right )$

$=Rs.\dfrac{4x}{5}$

He would sell it for Rs. 75 less Then the new S.P. = Rs.

$\displaystyle \left ( \frac{6x}{5}-75 \right )$

He gains 25% then the new S.P. = Rs.

$\displaystyle \frac{125}{100}\times \frac{4x}{5}=Rs.x$

Hence,

$\displaystyle \frac{6x}{5}-75=x$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{6x}{5}-x=75$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{5}=75$

Hence the required C.P. = Rs.375

Tanoj & Manoj started a business by investing Rs 75000 and Rs 90000 respectively. It was decided to pay Tanoj a monthly salary of Rs 1875 as he was the active partner. At the end of the year if the total profit is Rs 39000 find the difference of their profits

Profit sharing ratio = 75000 : 90000 = 5 : 6 Total profit = Rs. 39000
Salary of Tanoj =

$12 \times 1875 = Rs.22500$
Profit left =

$Rs.39000 - Rs.22500 = Rs.16500$
Tanoj's profit =

$\dfrac{5}{11}\times 16500=Rs.7500$

$\therefore$ Total profit of Tanoj =

$22500 + 7500 = Rs.30000$
Manoj's profit =

$\dfrac{6}{11}\times 16500=Rs.9000$

Difference=21000

Nitesh & Jitesh invested Rs 15000 and Rs 18000 respectively in a business. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs 8800 and Nitesh being an active partner gets an additional 12.5% of the profit, find the total profit of Nitesh in Rs

Profit sharing ratio = 15000 : 18000 = 5 : 6 Total profit = 8800
Nitesh gets 12.5% of the profit

$=\dfrac{12.5}{100}\times 8800=Rs.1100$
Net profit =

$8800 - 1100 = Rs. 7700$
Nitesh share in profit

$=\dfrac{5}{5+6}\times 7700=Rs.3500$
Total profit of Nitesh

$= 3500 + 1100 = Rs. 4600$

David started a business establishment by investing RsAfter 4 months William entered into a partnership by investing a certain amount. At the end of the year the profit was shared in the ratio 9 :Find how much money was invested by william in Rs

Let william invested Rs.x
Profit sharing ratio =

$15000 \times 12 : 8x = 1,80,000 : 8x$
Also profit ratio =

$9 : 8$

$\therefore 180000 : 8x = 9 : 8$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{180000\times 8}{9\times 8}=x\Rightarrow x=Rs.20,000$

M: The price of T.V. set inclusive of Sales Tax of 9% is Rs. 13,Find its marked price.
A: If Sales Tax is increased to 13%, how much more does the customer has to pay for the T.V.?

Then M+A is

M. Let the M.P is Rs x

Then according to the question

$\rightarrow x+9\% of x=13407$

$\Rightarrow x+\frac{9}{100}=13407$

$\Rightarrow \frac{109x}{100}=13407$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{13407\times 100}{109}$

$\Rightarrow x=Rs.12300$

A .If sales tax increased 13% then

Sales price

$=12300+13 \% of 12300$

Sales price

$=12300+\frac{13}{100}\times 12300$

Sales price

$=12300+1599=Rs.13899$

so customer pay

$=13899-13407=Rs.492$ More

Then

$M+P=12300+492= Rs.12792$

The marked price of two articles A and B together is $\text{Rs. } 6,000$ . The sales tax on article A is $8\%$ and that on article B is $10\%.$ If on selling both the articles, the total sales tax collected is $\text{Rs. } 552,$ find the marked prices of each of the articles A and B.

let the marked price of A

$=\text{Rs. }x$

then marked price of B

$=\text{Rs. }(6000-x)$

Sales tax on A is

$8\%$ of x

$=\dfrac{8}{100}\times x=\dfrac{2x}{25}$

Sales tax on B is

$10\%$ of

$6000-x$

$=\dfrac{6000-x}{10}$

According to the question

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{2x}{25}+\dfrac{6000-x}{10}=552$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8x+60000-10x}{100}=552$

$\Rightarrow 60000-2x=55200$

$\Rightarrow 2x=4800$

$\Rightarrow x=2400$

$\therefore$ Marked Price of A

$=\text{Rs. }2400$

Marked Price of B

$=6000-2400=\text{Rs. }3600$

Increases to 15%

Given - Selling Price (S.P): Rs. 8,250 ; Sales Tax: 10%

Solution:

Let the marked price (M.P) of the article be

$Rs. x$

$\mbox{Selling Price} = \mbox {Marked Price + Tax}$

$8250 = x + \dfrac{10}{100} x$ =

$1.1 x$

$\therefore x = 7500 \Rightarrow M.P = Rs. 7,500$

If Sales Tax is increased from 10% to 15%, then the S.P of the article will also increase.

Hence the customer will have to pay more i.e the difference in amount of tax.

Increase in tax =

$15$ % -

$10$ % =

$5$ %

Increase in

$S.P = M.P \times 5$ % =

$7500 \times \dfrac{5}{100}$ =

$Rs. 375$

A person bought an article and sold it at a loss of 15%. If he bought it for 20% less and sold it for Rs. 114 more he would have had profit of 30% . Find the cost price of the article.

Let's say CP was x
SP

$= x - 15\%$ of

$x =x-\frac{15}{100}x=\frac{85x}{100}= 0.85x$
If he bought it for 20% less,
CP

$= x - 20\%$ of

$x = x-\frac{20x}{100}=\frac{80x}{100}=0.8x$
New

$SP = 0.85x + 114$
Now gain

$= 30\%$ of

$0.8x$

then

$S.P-C.P=gain$

$\Rightarrow 0.85 x + 114 - 0.8x = \frac{30}{100}\times 0.8 x$

$\Rightarrow 0.05x + 114 = 0.24x$

$\Rightarrow 0.19x = 114$

$\Rightarrow x =\frac{114}{0.19}= 600$
then CP =Rs. 600

A hawker sells orange at a profit of $25\%$ . If he reduces the selling price of each orange by $60$ paise, he earns a profit of $5\%$ . Find the final selling price of each orange.

Let CP =

$x$ paise
Initial SP

$= x + 25\% \ of\ x = 1.25 x$

New SP

$=( 1.25 x - 60)$ paise
New gain

$= 5\% \ of \ x$

$\Rightarrow New\ SP - CP = 0.05x$

$\Rightarrow 1.25 x - 60 - x = 0.05x$

$\Rightarrow 0.25 x - 60 = 0.05x$

$\Rightarrow 0.25 x - 0.05x = 60$

$\Rightarrow 0.2 x = 60$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{60}{0.2} = 300$

So, the CP

$=300\ paise$

Hence, final selling price

$=1.25x-60$

$=( 1.25 \times 300 - 60)\ paise = 315 \ paise = Rs. 3.15$

If the marked price of an article is $50\%$ above the cost price, when marked price is increased by $20\%$ and selling price is increased by $20\%$ then the profit is doubled. If the original marked price is $Rs.300$ then what is the original selling price?

Given,

$MP = Rs.300$
Marked price was

$50\%$ above the cost price.

Let

$CP$ be

$y$

So,

$MP= y + 50\%\ of\ y$

$\Rightarrow y+\dfrac{50}{100}\times y= 300$

$\Rightarrow y = Rs. 200$

Let the

$SP$ was

$X$ .

$\therefore \ Profit=Rs.(X-200)$

New

$MP=Rs.( 300 + 20\%\ of\ 300) =Rs.(300+\dfrac{20}{100}\times 300)= Rs.360.$

So,New

$SP=X+20\%\ of\ X=X+\dfrac{20}{100}X=1.2X$

$\therefore Profit=Rs.(1.2X-200)$

Now, according to question,

$\Rightarrow 1.2 X - 200 = 2\times (X-200)$

$\Rightarrow 1.2X - 200 = 2X - 400$

$\Rightarrow 0.8X = 200$

$\Rightarrow X = 250$
Thus, original selling price was

$Rs.250$

$=12 \% \times 13,000$

$=\dfrac{12}{100} \times 13000$

$=12 \times 130$

$\text{Tax amount}$

$=1560$

$\textbf{Step 2: Find the bill amount.}$

$\text{Bill amount=price of TV+ Tax amount}$

$=13000+1560$

$=14560$

$\textbf{Vinod will have to pay the amount is 14560.}$

A tape recorder is sold at $Rs. 5,225$ after being given a discount of $5$ %. What is its marked price?

We are given that the discount is

$5$ %. This means that for

$Rs. 100$ , the discount is

$Rs. 5$ .
Therefore, selling price

$= Rs. 100 - Rs. 5 = Rs. 95$ .
Thus on a selling price of

$Rs. 95$ , the marked price is

$Rs. 100$ .
On a selling price of

$Rs. 5,225$ , the marked price

$= \dfrac {100}{95}\times 5225 = 5500$ .
Therefore, marked price of the tape recorder is

$Rs. 5,500$ .

An article marked $Rs. 800$ is sold for $Rs. 704$ . Find the discount and discount percent.

M.P of article =

$800$ Rs
S.P of article =

$704$ Rs
Discount

$=$ M.P. - S.P.

$=800 - 704=96$ Rs

Discount % =

$\dfrac{\text{Discount amount}}{M.P} \times 100$ .
Discount % =

$\dfrac{96}{800} \times 100 = 12$ %.

The marked price of an gift item is $Rs. 176$ and sold it for $Rs. 165$ . Find the discount percent.

Marked Price $= 176,$ Selling Price $= 165$

$Discount = \cfrac {M.P-S.P}{M.P}$

$\cfrac {176-165}{176} = 0.0625$ or $6.25$ %

$\therefore$ discount percent is $6.25$ %

Find the selling price of a towel of Rs. $50$ when a sales tax of $5\%$ is added to it.

$=Rs. 52.5$

$\therefore$ selling price of towel is $Rs.52.5$

A dealer allows a discount of Rs 10% and still gains by 10%. What should be the marked price if the cost price is Rs 900?

Let the marked price be

$x$

Given,

$C.P=Rs \,900$

And discount

$=$

$10\%$ of

$x$

$= \dfrac{{10}}{{100}}\times x$

$=\dfrac{x}{{10}}$

$=$ MP

$-$ Discount

$=x - \dfrac{x}{{10}}$

$= \dfrac{{9x}}{{10}}$

Now, Gain

$=$ S.P

$-$ C.P

$\Rightarrow 10\%$ of CP

$=$ S.P

$-$ C.P

$\Rightarrow$

$\dfrac{{10}}{{100}}\times 900=\dfrac{9x}{{10}} - 900$

$\Rightarrow$

$90+ 900 = \dfrac{9x}{{10}}$

$\Rightarrow$

$x= 1100$

$\therefore$ Marked Price is Rs

Find the amount of sales tax a customer has to pay.

Given

$= 42,000$

First Discount

$= 10\%$

Second Discount

$= 5\%$

Sales Tax

$= 8\%$

So,

First Discount

$=$

$\dfrac { 10 }{ 100 } \times { 42,000 }$

$=$

$4,200$

$\therefore$ Standing Amount after first disount

$=\quad 42,000-4,200$

$=37,800$

Second Discount

$= \dfrac { 5 }{ 100 } \times { 37,800 }$

$=1,890$

$\therefore$ Standing after second discount

$=37,800-1,890$

$=35,910$

Now, Payable tax

$=\quad \dfrac { 8 }{ 100 } \times { 35,910 }$

$=2,872.80$

Hence, Customer has to pay Rs

$2,872.80$ for the sales tax.

If the price of a book is reduced by $Rs\ 5$ , a person can buy $5$ more books for $Rs\ 300$ . Find the original list price of the book.

$\textbf{Step -1: Find the original price of the book.}$

$\text{Let the original list price of the book be Rs. }x.$

$\text{In Rs. }300,\text{ number of books a person can buy}=\dfrac{300}{x}.$

$\text{New cost price of the book}=\text{Rs. }x-5$

$\text{Then, number of books can be bought in Rs. }300=\dfrac{300}{x-5}$

$\text{According to the question,}$

$\dfrac{300}{x-5}=\dfrac{300}{x}+5$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{300}{x-5}=\dfrac{300+5x}{x}$

$\Rightarrow 300x=300x+5x^2-1500-25x$

$\Rightarrow 5x^2-25x-1500=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-5x-300=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-20x+15x-300=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-20)+15(x-20)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-20)(x+15)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-20)=0\text{ or }(x+15)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=20\text{ or }x=-15$

$\because\text{Price cannot be negative.}$

$\therefore x=20$

$\textbf{ Thus, the original list price of the book is Rs. 20.}$

A vendor bought $20$ oranges for $Rs.125$ and sold them at $Rs. 90$ per dozen. Find his gain or loss percent to the nearest integer.

CP of

$20$ oranges

$= Rs. 125$

$\therefore$ CP of

$1$ orange

$= Rs.\cfrac{125}{20}=Rs. 6.25$

SP of

$12$ oranges

$=Rs. 90$

$\therefore$ Sp of

$1$ orange

$= Rs.\cfrac{90}{12}=Rs. 7.5$

Profit

$=$ SP-CP

$=Rs. 7.5-Rs. 6.25=Rs. 1.25$

$\therefore Profit \% =\cfrac{1.25}{6.25}\times 100=20\%$

Find the rate of discount when M.P = $300$ and S.P = $240$ .

Given,

$MP=300$

$SP=240$

$Discount=MP-SP=300-240=60$

Discount Rate

$=\dfrac{Discount}{MP}\times 100\%=\dfrac{60}{300}\times 100\%=\dfrac{100}{5}\%=20\%$

Rate of Discount

$=20\%$

When the price of a doll is $\text{Rs.}\ 4$ per doll, a doll maker supplies $8$ dolls per day. If the price rises to $\text{Rs.}\ 5$ per doll, he is willing to supply $10$ dolls per day. Calculate the price elasticity of supply of dolls.

Price elasticity of supply

$(E_{S}) = \dfrac {P}{Q}\times \dfrac {\triangle Q}{\triangle P}$ ,

where

$P$ is the price,

$\Delta P$ is the change in price,

$Q$ is the number of items,

$\Delta Q$ is the change in the number of products

$P_i = \text{Rs.}\ 4$

$P_{f} = \text{Rs.}\ 5$

$\Delta P = P_{f} - P_i = \text{Rs.}\ ( 5 - 4) = \text{Rs.}\ 1$

$Q_i = 8\ \text{dolls}$

$Q_{f} = 10\ \text{dolls}$

$\Delta Q = Q_{f} - Q_i = (10 - 8)\ \text{dolls} = 2\ \text{dolls}$
Price elasticity of supply

$(E_{S}) =\dfrac {4}{8}\times \dfrac {2}{1} = 1$
The price elasticity of supply is equal to unity.

During Diwali sale, the cost of a table is $Rs. 870$ on which $\dfrac{1}{5}^{th}$ of the cost is off. The same table lamp is available at an electric shop for $Rs. 975$ with a discount $\dfrac{1}{15}^{th}$ of the cost. Which is a better deal and by how much?

$C_{1}=870$ ,

$Discount_{1}=\dfrac{1}{5}^{th} of 870$

$C_{2}=975$ ,

$Discount_{2}=\dfrac{1}{15}^{th} of 975$

Selling Price

$=CP-Discount\times CP$

$SP_{1}=870-\dfrac{1}{5}\times 870=696$

$SP_{2}=975-\dfrac{1}{15}\times 975=910$

Therefore the Better deal is Diwali Sale, by

$(910-696)=Rs214$

Karim sold a shirt at a loss of $10\%$ . Had he sold it for Rs. $60$ more he would have gained $5\%$ on it. Find the cost price of the shirt.

Loss

$=10\%$ , if Selling Price was

$60$ more Profit

$=5\%$

Case 1 :

$SP_1=CP-\dfrac{10}{100}\times CP$

$=\dfrac{90}{100}\times CP$

Case 2 :

$SP_2=SP_2+60$

$SP_2=CP+\dfrac{5}{100}\times CP$

$=\dfrac{105}{100}CP=SP_1+60CP$

but

$SP_1=\dfrac{90}{100}$

$\implies \dfrac{15}{100} CP=60$

$\implies CP=400$

$\therefore$ the Cost Price is Rs

$400$

Find the gain or loss.
C.P. $=$ Rs. $435.00$ ; S.P. $=$ Rs. $565.00$ .

now, S.P. - C.P = (565.00 - 435.00)Rs.

$S.P. - C.P = 130.00 > 0$

$S.P - C.P > 0$

$\therefore S.P. > C.P.$

So, From CP & SP, We gain.

Maizah bought a pair of pants and a briefcase at a departmental store. The sum of the prices of the pants and the briefcase before sales tax was $$130.00$ . There was no sales tax on the pants and a $9%$ sales tax on the briefcase. The total Maizah paid, including the sales tax, was $$136.75$ . What was the price in dollars, of the pants?

$\Rightarrow$ Prices of the pants and briefcase before sales tax

$=\$\,130.00$

$\Rightarrow$ Prices of the pants and briefcase after sales tax

$=\$\,136.75$

$\therefore$ Sales tax on pants and the briefcase

$=\$\,136.75-\$\,130.00=\$\,6.75$

$\Rightarrow$ Let

$x$ be the price of briefcase.

$\therefore$

$9\%\,of\,x=6.75$

$\therefore$

$\dfrac{9}{100}\times x=6.75$

$\therefore$

$x=\dfrac{6.75\times 100}{90}$

$\therefore$

$x=\$\,75$

$\therefore$ Price of briefcase is

$\$\,75$

$\Rightarrow$ Price of pants

$=\$\,130-\$\,75=\$\,55$

After offering discount of $10$ % on marked price, a customer gets total discount of $17$ rupees. What is the difference between the marked price and the cost price of the item, if the seller still earns a profit of $53\%$ ?

Given discount is

$10\%$

marked price will be

$17\times \dfrac{100}{10}=170$

selling price will be

$170-17=153$

cost price

$=153-153\times \dfrac{53}{100}=81.09$

difference between the marked price and cost price is

$170-81.09=88.91$

Hence, this is the required value.

A shopkeeper allows $20\%$ discount on the marked price of his articles. Find the marked price of an article for which he charged Rs. $560$ .

Consider M.P of articles $= ₹\,100$

Discount on the M.P $= 20\%$

S.P of articles $= 100 – 20 = ₹\,80$

If S.P of articles is $₹\,80$ then $M.P = ₹\,100$

If S.P of articles is $₹\,560$ then $M.P = (100 \times 560)/ 80 = ₹\,700$

The marked prices of an articles is $Rs.500$ . The shopkeeper gives a discount of $5\%$ and still $m$ makes a profit of $25\%$ . Find the cost prices of the article.

We have,

The marked price of an article $=500\,rs$

Discount $=5%$

Profit $=25%$

Let the cost price of an article $=x\,rs$

Then,

We know that,

$Discount\,price=Marked\,price\,-\,\dfrac{discount%}{100}\times Marked\,price$

$=500-\dfrac{5}{100}\times 500$

$=500-25$

$=475$

Now,

$Discount=\operatorname{cost}\,price+\dfrac{profit}{\operatorname{cost}\,price\,\times 100}$

$475=x+\dfrac{25}{100x}$

$475=x+\dfrac{1}{4x}$

$\dfrac{5}{4}x=475$

$x=475\times \dfrac{4}{5}$

$x=380\,rs$

Hence, this is the answer.

A shop gives $20\%$ discount. What would the price of each of these be?
A dress market at $Rs.120$
A pair of shoes market at $Rs.750$
A bag market at $Rs.250$

A - Price

$=(\dfrac{100\%-20\%}{100\%})*120=\dfrac{80}{100}*120=96$

B - Price

$=(\dfrac{100\%-20\%}{100\%})*750=\dfrac{80}{100}*750=600$

C - Price

$=(\dfrac{100\%-20\%}{100\%})*250=\dfrac{80}{100}*250=200$

If S.P. of an article is $\frac{3}{2}$ of its C.P.,then profit (in percent) is.

Let the cost price be $x$ .

Since, the selling price $=\dfrac{3}{2}x$

We know that

Profit $=\dfrac{S.P-C.P}{C.P}\times 100$

$=\dfrac{\dfrac{3x}{2}-x}{x}\times 100$

$=\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{2}}{x}\times 100$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 100$

$=50 \%$

Hence, this is the answer.

Mrs. Goyal has to pay $4\%$ sales tax in addition to the price if a certain article. Find the price of her article, if she pays $Rs.260$ in all?

Let the price of the article be

$Rs. x$ . Then,

$x+4\% \ of \ x=260$

$x+\dfrac{4}{100}x=260$

$x+\dfrac{x}{25}=260$

$26x=260 \times 25$

$x=10 \times 25$

$x=250$

Thus, the price of the article is

$Rs. 250$ .

The cost price of an article is Rs. $1600$ , which is $20\%$ below the marked price. If the article is sold at a discount of $16\%$ , then find the marked price.

Given :

Cost price

$=Rs.1600$

Let Marked price be

$x$

Then

$\dfrac{80\times x}{100}=1600$

$x=2000$

$\therefore$ Marked price

$=Rs\ 2000$

After allowing a discount of $7\dfrac{1}{2}\%$ on the marked price, a toy was sold for Rs. $555$ . Find its marked price.

Discount

$=7.4\%$

Selling Price

$=\text{Rs. }555$

$\therefore (100-7.4)\%\times$ Marked price

$=$ selling price

$\implies (100-7.4)\%\times$ Marked price

$=Rs.555$

$\implies 92.6\%\times M.P=555$

$\implies$ Marked price

$=\dfrac{555\times 1000}{926}$

$\implies$ Marked price

$=\text{Rs }599.352$

Hence, marked price

$=\text{Rs. }600$ (approx)

A table marked at $Rs. 15,000$ is available for $Rs. 14,400$ . Find the discount given and the discount per cent.

A dealer gave $9\%$ discount on an electric fan and charges Rs. $728$ from the customer. Find the marked price of the fan.

Consider

$Rs. x$ as the

$M.P.$ of the fan
Discount =

$9\%$

$\therefore$ SP =

$Rs. x - Rs. 9\%\ of\ x$

$\Rightarrow 728 = \dfrac{91x}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{728\times100}{91}$

$\Rightarrow x = 8 \times 100$

$\Rightarrow x = 800$

Therefore, the marked price of the fan is

$Rs.800$ .

A shopkeeper purchased a calculator for Rs. $650$ . He sells it at a discount of $20\%$ and still makes a profit of $20\%$ . Find marked price.

Let the M.P. of the pendant be

$x$

$\therefore$ Value of pendant after first discount

$= x-\dfrac{20}{100}\times x = \dfrac{4x}{5}$

Now, value of pendant after second discount

$= \dfrac{4x}5-\dfrac{15}{100}\times\dfrac{4x}{5}=\dfrac{4x}5 - \dfrac{3x}{25}=\dfrac{17x}{25}$

To find:

$\mathrm{S.P.}$

We know that

$\mathrm{S.P.}=\mathrm{M.P.}\left[\dfrac{100-\mathrm{Discount} \%}{100}\right]$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S.P.}=500\left(\dfrac{100-15}{100}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S.P.}=5 \times 85$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S.P.}=\mathrm{Rs.} \space425$

To find:

$\mathrm{S.P}$

We know that

$\mathrm{S.P}=\mathrm{M.P}\left[\dfrac{100- \mathrm{Discount} \%}{100}\right]$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S.P}=1300\left(\dfrac{100-10}{100}\right)$

Given,

$\mathrm{S.P}$ of the saree

$=\mathrm{Rs} \space720$

Discount on the saree

$=20 \%$

We know,

$\mathrm{Discount} \%=\dfrac{\mathrm{ Discount }}{\mathrm{MP}} \times 100$

Or,

$\mathrm{Discount}=\dfrac{\text { Discount } \% \times \text { MP }}{100}$

Let, the

$\mathrm{MP}$ of the saree be

$\text{Rs. } \space x$

$\therefore \mathrm{Discount}=\dfrac{20}{100} x= \mathrm{Rs.} \space0.02x$

Since,

$\mathrm{S.P}=\mathrm{M.P}-\mathrm{Discount}$

$720=x-0.20 x$

$720=0.80 x$

$x=\dfrac{720}{0.80}$

$\Rightarrow x=\mathrm{Rs} \space900$

Thus, the

$\Rightarrow$

$\mathrm{Discount}= \mathrm{Rs.}\space (900-873)$

$\Rightarrow$

$\mathrm{Discount}= \mathrm{Rs.}\space 27$

Now,

$\mathrm{Discount} \%=\frac{\text { Discount }}{\text { M.P }} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow$

$\mathrm{Discount} \%=\frac{27}{900} \times 100$

$\Rightarrow$

$\therefore \mathrm{Discount}=\dfrac{\mathrm{Discount} \times \mathrm{M.P}}{100}$

$=\mathrm{Rs} \dfrac{7.5x}{100}$

$=\mathrm{Rs} \space0.075x$

Since

$\mathrm{S.P}=\mathrm{M.P}-\mathrm{Discount}$

$\Rightarrow555=x-0.075 x$

$\Rightarrow555=0.925 x$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{555}{0.925}$

To find:

$\mathrm{M.P}$

We know that

$\mathrm{M} . \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{S.P}\left[\dfrac{100}{100-\mathrm{Discount} \%}\right]$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{M.P} =495\left(\dfrac{100}{100-16}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{M.P}=495 \times \dfrac{100}{99}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{M.P} =\mathrm{Rs.}\space500$

Find discount in percent when M.P. = Rs 500 and S.P. = Rs 425

We know that

$\mathrm{Discount} =\mathrm{M.P-S.P}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{Discount = Rs.}\space (500-425)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{Discount = Rs.} \space75$

Now,

$\mathrm{Discount} \%=\dfrac{\text { Discount }}{\text { M.P }} \times 100$

$SP = {(100 + profit\ \%)/100} × CP$

$= {(100 + 10)/100} × 200$

$= {110/100} × 200$

$= Rs. 220$

The bookseller sells the book for

$Rs. 220.$

A business man makes a 10% profit by selling a toy costing him RsWhat is the selling price?

$CP = \text{Rs.} 120$

$\text{Profit }= 10\ \%$

We know that

$SP = \frac{100+\text{Profit %}}{100} × CP$

$=\frac{100+10}{100} × 120$

$= \frac{110}{100} × 120 = 1.1 × 120 = \text{Rs.} 132$

Given the following values, find the unknown value:
C.P = Rs 1200, S.P. = Rs 1350, Profit= ?

As it is given that

$S.P > C.P$

$Profit=S.P-C.P$

$Profit=1350-1200$

$Profit=Rs\ 150$

Jyotsana bought 400 eggs at Rs 8.40 a dozen. At what price per hundred must she sell them so as to earn a profit of 15%?

Cost of eggs per dozen $= Rs. 8.40$
Cost of 1 egg $= 8.40/12 = Rs. 0.7$
Cost of 400 eggs $= 400 × 0.7 = Rs. 280$
Calculating the price at which Jyotsana should sell the eggs to earn a profit of $15\%$ , we get
$15\%\ of\ 280 + 280$
$= {(15/100) × 280} + 280 = {4200/100} + 280 = 42 + 280 = Rs. 322$

So, Jyotsana must sell the 400 eggs for Rs. 322 in order to earn a profit of $15\%.$
Therefore, SP per one hundred eggs $= Rs. 322/4 = Rs. 80.50.$

Kiran purchases an article for Rs. $5310$ which includes $10$ % rebate on the marked price and $18$ % tax (under GST) on the remaining price. Find the marked price of the article.

Given:

$=18$ %

CP of an article

$=x-10$ % of

$x$

$=x-\dfrac{10}{100}x\\=\dfrac{90x}{100}\\=\dfrac{9x}{10}$

Amount of GST on CP on article

$=18$ % of $$\dfrac {9x}{10

$}$

$=\dfrac {18}{100}\times \dfrac {9x}{10}$

Total CP of article

$=\dfrac {9x}{10}+\left[\dfrac {18}{100}\times \dfrac {9x}{10}\right]\\=\dfrac{9x}{10}\left(\dfrac {1+18}{100}\right)=\dfrac {118}{100}\times \dfrac{9x}{10}$

It is given that, CP of an article including tax

$=Rs.5310$

So,

$\dfrac {118}{100}\times \dfrac{9x}{10}=5310$

$\Rightarrow x=5310\times \dfrac {100}{118}\times \dfrac{10}9=5000$

Hence, The required marked price of an article is Rs.

$5000$

It is given that

S.P. $= Rs. 780$

Discount = 20 $\%$

We know that

S.P. = $[1 - d/100]$ of M.P.

Substituting the values

$780 = \left [ 1 - \dfrac{20}{100} \right ]$ of M.P.

By further calculation

$780 = \dfrac{80}{100}$ of M.P.

It can be written as

M.P. $= 780 \times \dfrac{100}{80}$

So we get

M.P. $= 780 \times \dfrac{10}{8}$

M.P. $= \dfrac{7800}{8}$

M.P. $=$ Rs. $975$

Therefore, the marked price of the calculator is $Rs. 975.$

Increase in price $= 20\%$

$M.P = [C.P (100 + increase\,percent)]/ 100$

Substituting the values

$= [300 (100 + 20)]/ 100$

So we get

$= (300 \times 120)/ 100$

$= ₹\,360$

What percent is :
40 paisa of Rs 2

we can write it as

$= \dfrac{40 }{ \left ( 200\times 100 \right )}$

so we get

$= \dfrac{40}{200 }\times 100 %$
Here

$= 20\%$

What percent is :
16 hours of 2 days ?

we can write it as

$= \dfrac{16} { \left ( 2\times 24 \right ) }$

Increase in price $= 20\%$

$M.P = [C.P (100 + increase\,percent)]/ 100$

Substituting the values

$= [300 (100 + 20)]/ 100$

So we get

$= (300 \times 120)/ 100$

$= ₹\,360$

Rate of discount $= 10\%$

Amount of discount $= (360 \times 10)/ 100 = ₹\,36$

A shopkeeper marked a dinner set for $\, 1,000$ . He sold it at $\,900$ . What percent discount did he give?

It is given that

M.P of a dinner set $= ₹\,1000$

S.P of a dinner set $= ₹\,900$

So the amount of discount $= 1000 – 900 = ₹\,100$

Discount percent $= (Discount \times 100)/ M.P$

Substituting the values

$= (100 \times 100)/ 1000$

$= 10\%$

Evaluate:
$30\%$ of $200$ + $20\%$ of $450 25\%$ of $600$

$30\%$ of $200$ + $20\%$ of $450 – 25\%$ of $600$

$= (\dfrac{30 }{ 100} \times 200) + (\dfrac{20 }{ 100} \times 450) – (\dfrac{25 }{ 100} \times 600)$

$= (30 \times 2) + (2 \times 45) – (25 \times 6)$

We get,

$= 60 + 90 – 150$

$= 150 – 150$

$= 0$

Find:
$45$ is what percent of $54$ ?

Let

$45=x$ percent of

$\text{Rs.}\ 327000$

(i) Miss Nikita is of age

$27$ and her taxable income is

$\text{Rs.}\ 72,34,000.$ She doesn't need to pay income tax as her earning is less than

$\text{Rs.}\ 2,50,000.$

(ii) Mr. Kulkarni is of age

$36$ years and his taxable income is

$\text{Rs.}\ 3,27,000.$ So, his taxable income falls in the slab of

$\text{Rs.}\ 2,50,001$ to

$\text{Rs.}\ 5,00,000.$ Thus, he needs to pay the income tax.

(iii) Miss Mehta is of age

Find:
$2.7$ is what percent of $18$ ?

Let

$2.7=x$ percent of

$18=\dfrac {18\times x}{100}$

$\therefore x=\dfrac {2.7\times 100}{18}=\dfrac {270}{18}=\dfrac {30}{2}=15$

$\therefore$ Required percentage

$=15\%$

A shopkeeper buys an article for $Rs. 600$ and marks $25$ % above the cost price. Find (i) the selling price if he sells the article at $10$ % discount(ii) the percentage of discount if it is sold for $Rs. 600$ .

C.P = Rs. 600 and Discount rate is 25%

$\therefore$ S.P = C.P + Rate of discount

$\times$ C.P.

$= 600 + 25% \times 600$

$= 600 + \frac{25}{100} \times 600$

$= 600 + 150 = Rs. 750$
Marked price = Rs. 750
(i) Rate of discount = 10%, M.P. = Rs. 750
S.P = M.P. - discount

$= 750 - \frac{10}{100} \times 750$

$= 750 - 75$

$= Rs. 675$
(ii) S.P = Rs. 690, M.P = 750
Discount = M.P - S.P.

$= 750 - 690 = Rs. 60$
If the M.P. is

$Rs. 750$ the discount is

$Rs. 60$ . If the M.P. is

$100$ the discount is

$\frac{60 \times 100}{750} = 8%$

A dealer allows a discount of $20$ % and still gains $20$ %. Find the marked price of an article that costs the dealer $Rs. 720$ .

Given: C.P. $= Rs. 720$ ,

Gain $\%= 20\%$

Discount $\%= 20\%$

Gain percentage

$=\dfrac{\mathrm {Gain}}{\mathrm{CP}}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow 20=\dfrac{\mathrm{Gain}}{720}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{Gain}=Rs. 144$

And SP = CP + Gain

$\Rightarrow$ SP

$=720+144=Rs.864$

Discount percentage $=\dfrac{\mathrm{Discount}}{\mathrm {Marked\ Price}}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow 20=\dfrac{\mathrm{Discount}}{\mathrm {Marked\ Price}}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{Marked\ Price}=5\times \mathrm {Discount}$

Also, Discount = Marked Price – SP

$\Rightarrow$ Marked Price $–$ Discount = SP

$\Rightarrow$ 5 $\times$ Discount $-$ Discount $= ₹\ 864$

$\Rightarrow$ 4 $×$ Discount $= ₹\ 864$

$\Rightarrow$ Discount $= ₹\ 216$

Marked Price $=5\ \times$ Discount

$= 5 × 216$

$= ₹\ 1080$

A person purchases electronic items worth $Rs. 2,50,000$ . The shop keeper charges him a sales tax of $21$ % instead of $12$ %. The purchaser does not realize that he has overpaid. But after some time he finds that he has paid excess and asks the shopkeeper to return the excess ' money. The shopkeeper refuses and the purchaser moves the consumer court. The court with due learning orders the shop-keeper to pay the purchaser the excess money paid by the way of sales tax with an interest of $12$ % per annum. If the whole deliberation takes $8$ months what is the money that the purchaser gets back?

S.P = 2,50,000
Tax percent = 21%
Tax at the rate of 21%

$= \frac{21}{100} \times 2,50,000 = 52,000$

$Rs. 52500$
Tax at the rate of 12%

$= \frac{12}{100} \times 2,50,000 = 30,0000$

$100$

$Rs. 30,000$
Excess paid

$= 52,500 - 30,000$

$= Rs. 22,500$ .
Now

$P = 22,500, R = 12$ %

$T = 8$ months =

$\frac{8}{12}$ years
