1). a Price of TV set = Rs. X, then
Given, (x × 110) / 100 = 17600
x = (17600 × 100) / 110 = Rs. 16000
Required sales tax = 17600 – 16000 = Rs. 1600
2).d Percentage profit = [(11 × 11 – 10 × 10) / (10 × 10) ] × 100
= 21%
3). c SP = [(100 + profit%) × CP ] / 100
=[(100 + 20) × 170] / 100 = RS. 204
Now, marked price – 15% of marked price = SP
Let marked price = Rs. X
x – [ (15 × x) / 100 ] = 204
(100x – 15x) / 100 = 204
x = (204 / 85) × 100 = Rs. 240
Marked price = Rs. 240
4). b) Let the cost price = Rs. 100
Then, marked price is 50% above CP
Marked price = [ (100 + 50%) × 100 ] / 100
= (150 × 100) / 100
= Rs. 150
Now, shop allowed 40% discount
Selling price = [ (100 – Discount%) × Marked price ] / 100
= [ (100 – 40) × 150 ] / 100
= (60 × 150) / 100 = Rs. 90
Clearly, shopkeeper had a loss as CP > SP
Loss per cent = (CP – SP) / CP × 100
= (100 – 90) / 100 × 100 = 10% loss
5). d Cost price of B = [ 100 – Loss × CP of A ] / 100
= [(100 – 4) × 40000] / 100 = Rs. 38400
Now, CP of B = Rs. 38400
B sell the computer to C at Rs. 40320
SP for B = 40320
Now, profit per cent = (SP – CP) / CP × 100
= (40320 – 38400) / 38400 × 100 = 5%
6). d) Let the cost price of shirt = Rs.x
Then, selling price at profit of 15%
= [ (100 + Profit) × CP ] / 100
= (100 + 15) × x / 100 = 115x / 100
Similarly, selling price at per cent of 17%
= [ (100 + 17) × CP ] / 100
= 117 × x / 100
= 117x / 100
Now, by given condition
117x / 100 – 115x / 100 = 3
(117x – 115x ) / 100 = 3
x = (100 × 3) / 2 = Rs. 150
7). a Gain = 13% Total SP = Rs. 791000
Now, CP = 100 × SP / (100 + gain%)
= (100 × 791000) / (100 + 13)
= 79100000 / 113 = Rs. 700000
Gain = SP – CP = 791000 – 700000 = Rs. 91000
8).b Let marked price be Rs. X
SP = x × (90 / 100) = Rs. 9 / 10 x
Again, SP = 900 × (110 / 100) = Rs. 990
9 / 10 x = 990
x = (990 × 10) / 9 = Rs. 1100
9). c Suppose, marked price of the article be Rs. X
Then, 88% of x = 880
x × 88 / 100 = 880
x = Rs. 1000
10). c Suppose, cost price of the goods be Rs. 100
Marked price of the goods = Rs. 120
After 5% discount, selling price of the goods = 120 × (95 / 100) = Rs. 114
Profit per cent = (114 – 100) / 100 × 100 = 14%

10). c)
1). a Price of TV set = Rs. X, then
Given, (x × 110) / 100 = 17600
x = (17600 × 100) / 110 = Rs. 16000
Required sales tax = 17600 – 16000 = Rs. 1600
2).d Percentage profit = [(11 × 11 – 10 × 10) / (10 × 10) ] × 100
= 21%
3). c SP = [(100 + profit%) × CP ] / 100
=[(100 + 20) × 170] / 100 = RS. 204
Now, marked price – 15% of marked price = SP
Let marked price = Rs. X
x – [ (15 × x) / 100 ] = 204
(100x – 15x) / 100 = 204
x = (204 / 85) × 100 = Rs. 240
Marked price = Rs. 240
4). b) Let the cost price = Rs. 100
Then, marked price is 50% above CP
Marked price = [ (100 + 50%) × 100 ] / 100
= (150 × 100) / 100
= Rs. 150
Now, shop allowed 40% discount
Selling price = [ (100 – Discount%) × Marked price ] / 100
= [ (100 – 40) × 150 ] / 100
= (60 × 150) / 100 = Rs. 90
Clearly, shopkeeper had a loss as CP > SP
Loss per cent = (CP – SP) / CP × 100
= (100 – 90) / 100 × 100 = 10% loss
5). d Cost price of B = [ 100 – Loss × CP of A ] / 100
= [(100 – 4) × 40000] / 100 = Rs. 38400
Now, CP of B = Rs. 38400
B sell the computer to C at Rs. 40320
SP for B = 40320
Now, profit per cent = (SP – CP) / CP × 100
= (40320 – 38400) / 38400 × 100 = 5%
6). d) Let the cost price of shirt = Rs.x
Then, selling price at profit of 15%
= [ (100 + Profit) × CP ] / 100
= (100 + 15) × x / 100 = 115x / 100
Similarly, selling price at per cent of 17%
= [ (100 + 17) × CP ] / 100
= 117 × x / 100
= 117x / 100
Now, by given condition
117x / 100 – 115x / 100 = 3
(117x – 115x ) / 100 = 3
x = (100 × 3) / 2 = Rs. 150
7). a Gain = 13% Total SP = Rs. 791000
Now, CP = 100 × SP / (100 + gain%)
= (100 × 791000) / (100 + 13)
= 79100000 / 113 = Rs. 700000
Gain = SP – CP = 791000 – 700000 = Rs. 91000
8).b Let marked price be Rs. X
SP = x × (90 / 100) = Rs. 9 / 10 x
Again, SP = 900 × (110 / 100) = Rs. 990
9 / 10 x = 990
x = (990 × 10) / 9 = Rs. 1100
9). c Suppose, marked price of the article be Rs. X
Then, 88% of x = 880
x × 88 / 100 = 880
x = Rs. 1000
10). c Suppose, cost price of the goods be Rs. 100
Marked price of the goods = Rs. 120
After 5% discount, selling price of the goods = 120 × (95 / 100) = Rs. 114
Profit per cent = (114 – 100) / 100 × 100 = 14%
