Question Detail
Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is
- \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{19}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{17}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{5}{11}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 3\frac{5}{11}\% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Whenever we get this type of question, we should have formula in mind that,
Gain% = (gain/cost)*100
Cost = 4700 + 800 = Rs. 5500
S.P. = Rs. 5800
Profit = 5800 - 5500 = 300
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \frac{300}{5500}*100 \\
= 5\frac{5}{11}\%
\end{aligned}
1. A shopkeeper sells a transistor at Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at the loss of 4%. Find his total gain percent.
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{12}{17}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{13}{17}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{14}{17}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{15}{17}\% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In this type of question, we will first find total C.P. of items, then total S.P. of items, then we will get gain or loss. From which we can easily calculate its percentage.
So lets solve it now.
\begin{aligned}
\text{So, C.P. of 1st transistor = }\\
\left( \frac{100}{120} * 840 \right) = 700 \\
\text{C.P. of 2nd transistor = }\\
\left( \frac{100}{96} * 960 \right) = 1000 \\
\text{Total C.P. = 1700 }\\
\text{Total S.P. = 1800 }\\
\text{Gain = 1800 - 1700 = 100}\\
\text{Gain% = } \left( \frac{100}{1700} * 100 \right) \\
= 5\frac{15}{17}\%
\end{aligned}
2. A pair of articles was bought for Rs. 37.40 at a discount of 15%. What must be the marked price of each of the articles ?
- Rs15
- Rs 20
- Rs 22
- Rs 25
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
As question states that rate was of pair of articles,
So rate of One article = 37.40/2 = Rs. 18.70
Let Marked price = Rs X
then 85% of X = 18.70
=> X = 1870/85 = 22
3. In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit
- 70%
- 80%
- 90%
- None of above
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let C.P.= Rs. 100.
Then, Profit = Rs. 320,
S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295
Required percentage = (295/420) * 100
= 70%(approx)
4. Sahil purchased a machine at Rs 10000, then got it repaired at Rs 5000, then gave its transportation charges Rs 1000. Then he sold it with 50% of profit. At what price he actually sold it.
- Rs. 22000
- Rs. 24000
- Rs. 26000
- Rs. 28000
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Question seems a bit tricky, but it is very simple.
Just calculate all Cost price, then get 150% of CP.
C.P. = 10000 + 5000 + 1000 = 16000
150% of 16000 = 150/100 * 16000 = 24000
5. Akhil purchased 70kg vegetable at Rs. 420, then sold them at the rate of Rs. 6.50 per kg, find the profit percent.
- \begin{aligned} 8\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 7\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 6\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Please note in this type of questions, get the value of 1 kg to solve this question, lets solve it.
C.P. of 1 Kg = 420/70 = Rs. 6
Selling Price = 6.50
Gain = Rs. 0.50
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \frac{.50}{6}*100 \\
= 8\frac{1}{3}\%
\end{aligned}
