Profit Loss Discount and Value Added Tax (Vat) Exercise 13.1 Solution :

Question no – (1) 

Solution :

1st, Gain,

= 100 – 90

= 10

Now, Gain percent (%),

= 100 × 10/90

= 100/9

= 11 1/9 %

Therefore, his gain will be 10 Rs and gain percent will be 11 1/9%.

Question no – (2)

Solution :

Given, Cost Price = 1240 Rs.

And, Selling Price = 1147 Rs.

1st, we find his Loss,

= 1240 – 1147

= 93 Rs

Now, His loss percent (%),

= 93/1240 × 100

= 15/2

= 7 1/2%

Hence, his loss will be 93 Rs and loss percent will be 7 1/2%.

Question no – (3)

Solution :

Given, Cost Price of 9 apples = 9.60

∴ Cost Price of 1 apples

= 9.60/9

= 1.06

∴ CP of 11 apples

= 1.06 × 11

= 11.66

Selling Price of 11 apples = 12.00

∴ Gain = Selling Price – Cost Price

= 12.00 – 11

= 11.66

∴ Gain Percent (%)

= 0.34 × 100/11.66

= 2.91%

Question no – (4)

Solution :

Cost Price of 1 articles = x

∴ Cost Price of 10 articles = 10x = SP of 9 articles

CP of 9 articles = 9x

Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price

= 10x – 9x

= x

Profit percent (%)

= x/9x × 100

= 100/9

= 11 1/9%

Therefore, the profit percent will be 11 1/9%

Question no – (5)

Solution :

Cost Price of radio = 225

Expenses,

= 225 + 15

= 240 Rs

Selling Price of radio = 300

Profit,

= 300 – 240

= 60 Rs

Profit percent (%),

= 60/240 × 100

= 25%

Therefore, his profit percent will be 25%

Question no – (6)

Solution :

Cost Price of cooler = 1200

Expenses,

= 1200 + 40

= 1240

Selling Price of cooler = 1550

∴ Profit,

= 1550 – 1240

= 310

∴ Profit percent (%),

= 310 × 100/1240

= 25%

Therefore, his profit percent will be 25%.

Question no – (7)

Solution :

Cost Price of wristwatch = 225

Spend for repair,

= 225 + 15

= 240

Selling Price of wristwatch = 300

∴ Profit

= 300 – 240

= 60

∴ Profit%

= 60 × 100/240

= 25%

Therefore, His profit percent will be 25%.

Question no – (8)

Solution :

Cost Price of 2 box = 1300

Let, Cost Price of box = x

∴ Cost Price of Box₂ = (1300 – x)

For, Box₁

Loss = 20%

∴ Selling Price of Box₂ = 120x/100

For, Box₂

Loss = 12%

∴ Selling Price of Box₂ (1300 – x) × 88/100

According to question,

120x/100 = (1300 – x) × 88/100

or, 120x = 88(1300 – x)

or, 120x/88 = (1300 – x)

or, 15x + 11x = 14300

or, 26x = 1300 × 11

or, x = 1300 × 11/26 = 550

∴ Cost Price of Box₁ = 550

∴ Cost Price of Box₂ = 1300 – 550

= 750 Rs.

Therefore, the cost price of the each box will be 550 Rs and 750 Rs.

Question no – (10)

Solution :

Let, CP of 1 chairs = x

∴ Cost Price of 18 chairs = 18x – Selling Price of 16 chairs

∴ Cost Price of 16 chairs = 16x

∴ Gain = SP – CP = 18x – 16x

∴ Gain% = 2x/18x × 100

= 100/9

= 11 1/9%

Therefore, the gain percent will be 11 1/9%

Question no – (11)

Solution :

Let Cost Price of 1 oranges = x

Cost Price of 16 oranges = 16x – Selling Price of 18 oranges

Cost Price of 18 oranges = 18x

Loss = 18x – 16x = 2x

Loss% = 2x/18x × 100

= 11 1/9%

Therefore, the loss percent will be 11 1/9%

Question no – (12)

Solution :

Let, the CP of motorcycle = x

The SP of motorcycle = 72x/100

With expense CP from Vineet

= 72x/100 + 1680

= 0.72x + 1680

Profit for this selling = 12.5%

∴ SP from Vineet to Rahul

= (0.72x + 1680) × 112.5/100

According to question,

(0.72x + 1680) × 112.5/100 = 35910

or, (0.72x × 112.5) + 189000 = 3591000

or, 0.72x × 112.5 = 3591000 – 189000 = 3402000

or, x = 3402000/0.72 × 112.5

= 3402000/81

= 42000

Therefore, the cost price of the motor cycle for Ravish is 42000.

Question no – (13)

Solution :

Selling Price of book = 258

gain = 20%

Cost Price of book,

= 258 × 100/120

= 215

When, gain 30%

∴ Selling Price of book,

= 215 × 130/100

= 279.5 Rs.

Therefore, he should sell the book for 279.5 Rs.

Question no – (14)

Solution :

Cost Price of briefcase = 800

∴ reduce price = 5%

∴ New price,

= 800 × 95/100

= 760 Rs.

Now, Loss = 8%

∴ Selling Price

= 760 × 92/100

= 699.20 Rs.

Therefore, the selling price of the briefcase will be 699.20 Rs.

Question no – (15)

Solution :

Selling Price of 90 ball pen = 160

∴ Selling Price of 1 ball pen = 16/90 = 16/9

Loss = 20%

∴ CP of 1 ball pen = 16/9 × 100/80

= 16/9 × 100 × 1/80

= 20/9

Again gain = 20%

∴ Selling Price of 1 ball pen,

= 20/9 × 120 /100

= 20/9 × 120 × 1/100

= 24/9

= 8/3

∴ Number of ball pen in 8/3 = 1

∴ Number of of ball pen in 96

= 96/(8/3)

= 96 × 3/8

= 36

Therefore, 36 ball pen should sell in 96 Rs.

Question no – (16)

Solution :

Let, CP of article = x

Profit = 25%

∴ SP of article = 125x/100 = 5x/4

If less 20% of CP,

∴ CP₁ = x – 20x/100 = 100x – 20x/100

= 80x/100 = 4x/5

∴ SP₁ = 5x – 36.75

∴ Profit% = SP₁ – CP₁

= 5x/4 – 36.75 – 4x/5

= 5x/4 – 4x/5 – 36.75

= 9x/20 – 36.75

∴ Profit% = (9x/20 – 36.75) × 100/4x/5

According to question,

(9x/20 – 36.75)/4x/5 = 30/100

or, (9x/20 – 36.75) = 30/100 × 4x/5 = 6x/25

or, 45x – 24x/100 = 3675/100

or, 21x = 3675

or, x = 3675/21

= 175

Question no – (17)

Solution :

We know, 1 kg = 1000 gm

∴ He gain = (100 – 950) = 50 gm

∴ He sells 950 gm pulses getting a gain of = 50 gm

∴ He sells 950 gm pulses getting a gain of = 50/950 × 100

= 100/19

= 5 5/15%

Therefore, his gain percent is 5 5/15%.

Question no – (18)

Solution :

Let, CP of table₁ = x

∴ CP of table₂ = 3120 – x

∴ SP of table₁ = 85x/100

∴ SP of table₂ = (3120 – x) × 136/100

According to question,

85x/10 = 93120 – x) × 136/100

or, 58x = 424320 = 136x

or, 136x + 85x = 424320

= 221x = 424320

= x = 424320/221

= 1920

∴ CP of table₁ = 1920

∴ CP of table₂ = (3120 – 1920)

= 1200 Rs.

Therefore, the cost price of each table will be Rs 1920 and Rs 1200.

Question no – (19)

Solution :

Let, Cost Price of fan₁ = x

Cost Price of fan₂ = (3605 – 5)

Selling Price of fan₁ = 115x/100

Selling Price of fan₂ = (3605 – x) × 91/100

According to question,

115x/100 = 91 (3605 – x)/100

or, 115x = 328055

or, 206x = 328055

or, x = 328055/206

= 1592.50

∴ Cost Price of fan₁ = 1592.50

∴ Cost Price of fan₂ = (3605 – 1592.50)

= 2012.50 Rs.

Therefore, the cost price of each fan will be Rs 1592.50 and 2012.50 Rs.

Question no – (20)

Solution :

Cost Price of toffee = 10

Cost Price of 1 toffee = 10/11

Again, Cost Price of 9 toffee = 10

∴ x of 1 toffee = 10/9

∴ Total Cost Price of (1 + 1) = 2 toffee

= (10/11 + 10/9)

= 90 + 110/99

= 200/99

∴ Total Cost Price of 1 toffee

= 200/99 × 2

= 100/99

∴ when SP of 1 toffee = 1

∴ Loss = 100/99 – 1

= 100 – 99/99

= 1/99

∴ Loss% = (1/99)/(100/99) × 100

= (1 × 99)/(99 × 100) × 100

= 1%

Question no – (21)

Solution :

Let, Cost Price of tricycle = x

Profit = 16%

∴ Selling Price₁ of tricycle = 116x/100

Again profit = 20%

∴ Selling Price₂ of tricycle = 120x/100

According to question –

120x/100 = 116/100 + 100

or, 120x/100 = 116x/1000/100

or, 120x = 116x + 10000

or, 120x – 116x = 10000

or, 4x = 10000

or, x = 1000/4 = 2500

Therefore, the C.P of the tricycle is 2500.

Question no – (23) 

Solution :

Let Cost Price of T shirt = x

Profit = 4%

∴ Selling Price₁ of T shirt = 104x/100

Again profit = 5%

∴ Selling Price₂ of T shirt = 105x/100

According to question,

105x/100 – 104x/100 = 6

or, 105x- 104/100 = 6

or, x = 6 × 100 = 600

(i) ∴ Cost Price of T shirt = 600

(ii) Selling Price = 105 × 600/10 = 630 Rs.

Selling Price₁ = 104 × 600/100 = 624 Rs.

Question no – (24)

Solution :

Cost Price of 100 hens = 8000

∴ Cost Price of 1 hens = 8000/100 = 80

∴ Cost Price of 20 hens = 80 × 20 = 1600

Let, Selling Price of 20 hens = x

According to question,

x – 1600/1000 = 5/100

or, x – 1600 = 80

or, x = 1600 + 80 = 1680

∴ Gain on 20 hens = (1680 – 1600) = 80

New Cost Price of 80 hens = 8 × 80 = 6400

Let, Selling Price of 80 hens = y

gain on 80 hens = (Selling Price – Cost Price) of 80 hens

gain on 100 hens = gain on 80 hens + gain an 20 hens

= (Selling Price of 80 hens – 6400) + 80

= (y – 6400) + 80

= Y – 6320

According to question,

y – 6320/800 = 20/100

or, y – 6320 = 1600

or, y = 1600 + 6320 = 7920

∴ Gain of 80 hens = Selling Price – Cost Price

= 7920 – 6400

= 1520

∴ Gain% = 1520/6400 × 100

= 23.75%

Let, Cost Price = x

Mark at = 40% above on Cost Price

∴ Market Price = 140x/150 = 7x/5

Now discount% = 5%

∴ Discount value = 7x/5 × 5 /10

= 7x × 5/5 × 100

= 7x/100

Given Selling Price = 1064

According to question,

7x/5 – 7x/100 = 1064

or, 140x – 7x/100 = 1064

or, 133x = 1064 × 100

or, x = 1064 × 100 /133 = 800

∴ Cost Price = 800

∴ Selling Price = 1064

∴ Profit = 1064 – 800

= 264

Question no – (14)

Solution :

Given, profit% = 16%

Let, M.P. = x

Discount = 20%

∴ S.P = 80x/100 = 4x/5

Now profit = 20%

∴ C.P = 4x/5 × 100/120

= 4x × 100/ 5× 120

= 2x/3

Given, gain = 360

∴ According to question,

4x/5 – 2x/3 = 360

or, 12x- 10x/15 = 360

or, 2x = 360 × 15

or, x = 360 × 15/2 = 2700 Rs

Therefore, the marked price of the cycle is Rs. 2700

Question no – (21)

Solution :

According to the question,

C.P = 1470

Profit = 10%

S.P = 1470 × 110/100

= 1617

Now, discount 12.5%

∴ M.P = 1617 × 10 /87.5

= 1617 × 100/8750

= 1848 Rs

Thus, the marked price of a suit is Rs 1848

Question no – (22)

Solution :

Cost Price = 1200

Gain = 12%

∴ Selling Price = 1200 × 112/100

Question no – (19) 

Solution : 

Let, Cost Price of cosmetic = x

Cost Price of purse = y

Total VAT = z

for cosmetic,

VAT = 15x/100 = 3x/20

∴ Selling Price = x + 3x/20

= 20x + 3x/20

= 23x/20

For purse,

VAT = 10y /10 = y/10

∴ Selling Price = y + y/10

= 10 + y/10

= 11y/10

According to question,

23x/20 = 345

or, x = 345 × 20/23 = 300

Again, According to question,

11y/10 = 110

or, y = 110 × 10/11 = 100

∴ Total Transaction = (345 + 110)

= 455

NOW, Total price = 300 + 100 = 400

∴ VAT = Z% of 400 = z/100 × 400 = 4z

According to question,

4x + 400 = 455

or, 4x = 455 – 400 = 55

or, 55/4 = 13.75%

Therefore, 13.75% percent is the VAT charged on the whole transaction.
