Answer:
CP of the iron safe = â¹12,160
Money spent on transportation = â¹340
Total CP = â¹12,160 + â¹340 = â¹12,500
SP of the iron safe = â¹12,875
Profit = SP − CP = â¹12,875 − â¹12,500 = â¹375
∴ Profit% =

Question 6:
Answer:
Total cost of rice of 1st variety = â¹36/kg × 20 kg = â¹720
Total cost of rice of 2nd variety = â¹32/kg × 25 kg = â¹800
Total cost of the two rice varieties = â¹720 + â¹800 = â¹1,520
Total quantity of the two rice varieties = 20 kg + 25 kg = 45 kg
Selling price of the mixture of two rice = â¹38/kg × 45 kg = â¹1,710
Gain = SP − CP = â¹1,710 − â¹1,520 = â¹190

Question 10:
Answer:
It is given that,
Gain = SP of 5 cassettes .....(1)
Gain = SP of 130 cassettes − CP of 130 cassettes
⇒ SP of 5 cassettes = SP of 130 cassettes − CP of 130 cassettes [From (1)]
⇒ CP of 130 cassettes = SP of 125 cassettes .....(2)
Let the CP of 1 cassettte be â¹x.
∴ CP of 125 cassettes = â¹125x
CP of 130 cassettes = â¹130x
SP of 125 cassettes = CP of 130 cassettes [From (2)]

Answer:
40 kg of wheat is bought for â¹12.50/kg.
∴ CP of 40 kg of wheat = 40 × 12.50 = â¹500
30 kg of wheat is bought for â¹14/kg.
∴ CP of 30 kg of wheat = 30 × 14 = â¹420
Total CP = â¹500 + â¹420 = â¹920
Profit = 5% of CP = 5% of â¹920 =
Let the SP be â¹x.
Profit = SP − CP
⇒ x − 920 = 46
⇒ x = â¹966
SP of 70 kg wheat = â¹966
∴ SP of 1 kg wheat =
Thus, the selling price of the mixture is â¹13.80/kg.

Question 22:
40 kg of wheat is bought for â¹12.50/kg.
∴ CP of 40 kg of wheat = 40 × 12.50 = â¹500
30 kg of wheat is bought for â¹14/kg.
∴ CP of 30 kg of wheat = 30 × 14 = â¹420
Total CP = â¹500 + â¹420 = â¹920
Profit = 5% of CP = 5% of â¹920 =
Let the SP be â¹x.
Profit = SP − CP
⇒ x − 920 = 46
⇒ x = â¹966
SP of 70 kg wheat = â¹966

Thus, the selling price of the mixture is â¹13.80/kg.
Answer:
CP of the first bat = â¹840
Profit% on the first bat = 15%
∴ Profit = 15% of â¹840 =
SP of the first bat = â¹840 + â¹126 = â¹966
CP of the second bat = â¹360
Loss = 5% of â¹360 =
SP of the second bat = â¹360 − â¹18 = â¹342
Total CP of two bats = CP of first bat + CP of second bat = â¹840 + â¹360 = â¹1,200
Total SP of two bats = SP of first bat + SP of second bat = â¹966 + â¹342 = â¹1,308
Here, Total SP of two bats > Total CP of two bats.
Gain = Total SP of two bats − Total CP of two bats = â¹1,308 − â¹1,200 = â¹108
∴ Gain% in the whole transaction

CP of the second bat = â¹360
Loss = 5% of â¹360 =
SP of the second bat = â¹360 − â¹18 = â¹342
Total CP of two bats = CP of first bat + CP of second bat = â¹840 + â¹360 = â¹1,200
Total SP of two bats = SP of first bat + SP of second bat = â¹966 + â¹342 = â¹1,308
Here, Total SP of two bats > Total CP of two bats.
Gain = Total SP of two bats − Total CP of two bats = â¹1,308 − â¹1,200 = â¹108

Answer:
Let the CP of the umbrella be â¹x.
SP of the umbrella = â¹336
Loss = 4% of â¹x =

Answer:
Let the original price be .
SP = Rs 3120
Now, SP = CP − loss
â
So, the cost price is Rs 3250.
If it is sold for Rs 3445, then its a gain because SP > CP.
Now, gain = SP − CP
= Rs (3445 − 3250)
= Rs 195
Hence, gain percent = 6%
Page No 135:
Question 30:
Let the original price be .

Answer:
SP of first saree = â¹1,980
Loss = 10%
Let the CP of first saree be â¹x.
CP = Loss + SP
∴ CP of first saree = â¹2,200
SP of second saree = â¹1,980
Gain = 10%
Let the CP of second saree be â¹y.

Answer:
CP of the plot of land = â¹4,80,000
CP of th of the land =

Answer:
CP of sugar = Rs 4500
Profit on one-third of the sugar = 10%
CP of one-third of the sugar = Rs
Now, profit= Rs (1650 − 1500) = Rs 150
At a profit of 12%, we have:
∴ Gain= Rs (5040 − 4500) = Rs 5400
Profit on the remaining amount of sugar = Rs (540 − 150) = Rs 390
CP of the remaining sugar = Rs (4500 − 1500) = Rs 3000
Therefore, the profit on the remaining amount of sugar is 13%.
Page No 138:
Question 1:
CP of sugar = Rs 4500
Profit on one-third of the sugar = 10%
CP of one-third of the sugar = Rs
Now, profit= Rs (1650 − 1500) = Rs 150
At a profit of 12%, we have:
∴ Gain= Rs (5040 − 4500) = Rs 5400
Profit on the remaining amount of sugar = Rs (540 − 150) = Rs 390
CP of the remaining sugar = Rs (4500 − 1500) = Rs 3000
Therefore, the profit on the remaining amount of sugar is 13%.
