On selling 17 balls at Rs. 720, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 5 balls. What is the cost price of a ball?

Detailed Solution for Test: Profit & Loss (February 20) - Question 1

Let the cost price of a ball be Rs. x.

So, the CP of 17 balls is Rs. 17x.

The CP of 5 balls is Rs. 5x.

 

Since Loss = CP - SP

So, 5x = 17x - 720

On solving, we get

12 x = 720

that is, x = 60

So, the cost price of a ball is Rs. 60.

A shopkeeper sells one more radio for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%. What is his total gain or loss percentage? 
Detailed Solution for Test: Profit & Loss (February 20) - Question 4

Case 1) S.P of transistor = Rs 840
Profit = 20%
By unitary method C.P = (100/120) ×840= 700Rs
Case 2) S.P of transistor = Rs960
Loss = 4%
By unitary method C.P = (100/96) × 960 = 1000 Rs
Total C.P = 700 + 1000 =1700 Rs
Total S.P= 840 +960 = 1800Rs
There is a profit of = 1800 - 1700 = Rs100
