    Ali performed better than Ahmed in the examination, scoring 75% compared to Ahmed's 71.4%. 180 students appeared for the exam, 70% of whom passed, so 54 students failed. To earn a profit of 50% on cups originally costing Rs. 35 each after breaking 6 cups, the trader must sell the remaining 30 cups at Rs. 63 each. A camera was purchased for Rs. 2800 with the original price being Rs. 4000, so there was a 30% discount. An article sold for Rs. 9100 including a 30% tax, so the original price without tax was Rs. 7000.

    Questions for Practice (Class Work)

    Q. 1) In an examination, Ali got 30 out of 40 marks while Ahmed obtained 5/7 of the total
    marks. Who performed well?

    Sol:

    × 100% = 75%

    × 100% = 71.4%

    Ali performed well.

    Q. 2) 200 students applied for an exam. Out of them 180 appeared and 70% of them passed.
    How many failed?

    Sol:

    180 × 30% = 54 failed

    Without calculator: 10% of 180 is 18

    For 30%: 18 × 3 = 54

    Q. 3) A trader bought 3 dozen cups at Rs. 35 each. He wishes to earn a profit of 50% by selling
    them all. But he breaks 6 cups in storage. At what price must he sell the remaining cups
    to earn the same profit?

    Sol:

    36 × 35 = 1260

    Required profit: 50% of 1260 which is 630

    Total sale price should be: 1260 + 630 = 1890

    Remaining cups: 36 – 6 = 30

    Price should be: 1890/30 = Rs. 63


    Q. 4) Mr. A purchased a camera for Rs. 2800. The original price of camera was Rs. 4000. What
    percentage of discount did he received?

    Sol:

    Disc. = 4000 – 2800 = 1200

    % of disc = × 100% = 30%

    Q. 5) An article sold for Rs. 9100 (inclusive of 30% tax). What was the original price of article
    excluding tax?

    Sol:

    9100 × = Rs. 7000

    RG formula:

    Given Amount ×

    Original Price is always 100%

    Here Tax is 30%

    So the sale price must be 100% + 30% = 130%

    OP = 100

    Add: Tax = 30

    SP = 130

    In this question sale price is given which is Rs. 9100 so its % (130) is written in
    denominator.

    And Original Price is Required whose % (100) is written in numerator.

    Hence we get the answer.

    Now consider the same question as:

    An article sold for Rs. 9100 (inclusive of 30% tax). What was the amount of tax paid?

    Here, according to RG Formula:

    9100 × = Rs. 2100


    Another Method:

    Let the original price is Rs. ‘X’ then tax will be 30% of ‘x’

    X + 30% of X = 9100

    X+ = 9100

    = 9100

    = 9100

    X = 9100 ×

    X = 7000

    Q.6) Ali’s income is 25% more than of Ahmad. What percent is Ahmed’s income less
    than Ali’s income?

    Sol: let Ahmed’s income is Rs 100 then Ali’s will be 125

    Difference = 125 – 100 = 25

    % = × 100% = 20%

    Q.7) A sales man is paid Rs.60 per hour along with a 5% commission on sales. One day
    he worked from 8am to 10pm and sells articles of Rs.20000. What amount did he
    earn?

    Sol: Hours worked: 14

    (14 × 60) + ( 5% × 20000)

    = 840 + 1000

    = Rs. 1840
    Q.8) By selling a car for Rs. 540000, Ahmad suffered a loss of 20%. How much should
    he sell it for to achieve a profit of 7.5%?

    Sol: 540000 × = 675000( original cost)

    675000 × = 50625(gain)

    675000 + 50625 = 725625

    OR

    675000 × = 725625

    Q.9) At a sale, Haseeb bought a bottle of juice for Rs. 70 after getting a discount of
    10% on it. How much was the bottle of juice marked at?

    Sol: 70 × = 77.77

    Q.10) Ali marks his goods 20% above his cost price and then offers his customers a
    discount of 10%. Calculate his gain percentage.

    Sol: Let CP is 100 Then MP will be 120

    10% of 120 is 12 which is discount

    So SP will be 120 – 12 = 108

    Original investment was 100 and he is selling at 108

    As 8 is 8% of 100 so his gain will be 8%
