Question Detail
If the cost price of 12 items is equal to the selling price of 16 items, the loss percent is
- 20%
- 25%
- 30%
- 35%
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the Cost Price of 1 item = Re. 1
Cost Price of 16 items = 16
Selling Price of 16 items = 12
Loss = 16 - 12 = Rs 4
Loss % = (4/16)* 100 = 25%
1. 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}
2. In terms of percentage profit, which among following the best transaction.
- C.P. 36, Profit 17
- C.P. 50, Profit 24
- C.P. 40, Profit 19
- C.P. 60, Profit 29
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Hint: Calculate profit percent as
Profit% = (profit/cost) * 100
3. A producer of tea blends two varieties of tea from two tea gardens one costing Rs 18 per kg and another Rs 20 per kg in the ratio 5 : 3. If he sells the blended variety at Rs 21 per kg, then his gain percent is
- 12%
- 13%
- 14%
- 15%
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea.
Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150.
Selling price = Rs. (8 x 21) = Rs. 168.
Profit = 168 - 150 = 18
So, Profit % = (18/150) * 100 = 12%
4. A shopkeeper fixes the marked price of an item 35% above its cost price. The percentage of discount allowed to gain 8% is
- 18%
- 20%
- 22%
- 24%
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the cost price = Rs 100
then, Marked price = Rs 135
Required gain = 8%,
So Selling price = Rs 108
Discount = 135 - 108 = 27
Discount% = (27/135)*100 = 20%
5. 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)
