s.p = 80 – 8 = 72
Loss = 100 – 72 = 28
% Loss = 28 * 100/100 = 28%
42. B
c.p = 11250
Extra money spent = 150 + 800 = 950
39. A Total c.p = 11250 + 950 = 12200
Let c.p = x and profit = y Profit (15%) = 12200 * 15/100 = 1830
s.p = x + y s.p = 12200 + 1830 = 14030
=> 1754 = x + y....(1) 43. B
Again, when loss is y (8*56 + 32*69 + 25*75)/ 65 = 69.70
=> 1492 = x – y....(2) (69.70/100) * 120 = 83.64
Adding both equations; 2x = 3246 44. D
=> x = 1623 Let c.p = x and profit = y
40. C s.p = x + y
Gain – 28% CP………SP => 878 = x + y....(1)
. 100………128 => 636 = x – y....(2)
Discount 11(1/9)% = 1/9 => 2x = 1514
MP………..SP => x = 757
9…………….8 45. B
Make SP same
CP…………SP…………….MP
100……….128……………144
MP – CP =44%
46. E
41. C
Let the MP be x.
Let labelled price = 100
And CP be y. 1.8y = 0.8x —-(1)
Discount = 100 * 20 /100 = 20
And 1.5y = 0.8x – 240 —-(2)
c.p = 100 – 20 = 80
Now, 1.8y = 1.5y + 240
Loss = 80 * 10/100 = 8
=> y = Rs.800
