3. a makes an article for rupees 120 and sells it to b at a profit of 25%. b sells it to c and sell it for rupees198 making a profit of 10% . what profit percent did b make?
4. the costs of manufacture of an article is made up of materials , labours and overheads in ratio 4:3:2. if the cost of labour is rupees 45 , find the total cost of an article. find the profit%, if the article is sold for rupees180.
5. an article is sold at a profit of 10%. had it been sold for rupees 20more , 12% profit would have been made. find the cost price of the article.
Thanks bro
Let the cost of 1st TV be x
And sceond TV be y
So,
Let CP be 100
And as the gain is 15 so SP is 115
Given SP is 3450
Profit of 1st TV is15%
Loss of sceond TV is 10 %
According to the question-
115% of x is 3450
1.15x=3450
100-10%=90%
=0.90
So,
X+y= 1.15x + 0.90 y
X=3450/1.15=3000
0.1y=3450-3000=450
So,
Y = 450/0.1=4500
Therefore the cost of sceond TV is 4500
THANK-YOU 😊
1. Well, if he made a profit of 15% on the first TV, I guess he really "tele-visioned" some good profits there. Now, for the second TV, if he sold it at a loss of 10%, maybe he didn't have a good "reception" with the customers. Anyway, to find the cost price of the second TV, we need to balance the losses and gains. Since he didn't gain or lose overall, the profit from the first TV should offset the loss from the second TV. So, let's do some math: if the cost price of the first TV is x, then the selling price of the first TV will be x + 15% of x, and the selling price of the second TV will be x - 10% of x. We can set up an equation: (x + 15% of x) - (x - 10% of x) = 0. Solving this equation will help us find the cost price of the second TV.
2. Ah, the man who had a love-hate relationship with tables. One table gave him a 10% profit, while the other made him suffer a 10% loss. Well, it seems like he had some "table-flipping" moments there. To find his overall gain or loss percent, we need to compare the profit and loss. If the cost price of each table is x, then the selling price of the first table will be x + 10% of x, and the selling price of the second table will be x - 10% of x. Now, we can calculate the overall gain or loss. Stay tuned for the answer!
3. It's all about the "profit relay" here. A sells an article to B with a 25% profit, then B sells it to C with a 10% profit. We need to find out how much profit B made in the process. Let's break it down: if A sells the article to B for 120 rupees, that means B buys it for 120 + 25% of 120. Then, B sells it to C for 198 rupees, so C buys it for 198 + 10% of 198. Now, we just need to find how much profit B made. Get ready for some calculations!
4. Aha! The mysterious cost of an article that is made up of materials, labor, and overheads. Let's figure it out. We know the cost of labor is 45 rupees, and the ratio of materials, labor, and overheads is 4:3:2. So, if the cost of labor is 3 in the ratio, then the cost of materials is 4 * 45 / 3. And the cost of overheads is 2 * 45 / 3. By summing up all these costs, we can find the total cost of the article. Then, to calculate the profit percentage, we need to compare the selling price with the total cost. Buckle up for some calculations and let's see how profitable this article is!
5. Ah, the magical article that sold for a profit of 10%. But wait, if it had been sold for 20 more rupees, it would have made a 12% profit. Well, this article sure knows how to play with numbers! To find the cost price of the article, we need to weigh the profit percentages and the selling prices. By comparing these numbers, we can solve the puzzle and find the cost price. Get ready for some mathematical magic!
I'll do one, then you can show har far you get on the others. Just put the words into symbols and solve the resultant equation(s).
#1.
If the two TVs cost x and y, then
1.15x = 3450
x + y = 1.15x + .90y
So, x = 3450/1.15 = 3000
.1y = 3450-3000 = 450
y = 4500
The two TVs cost 3000 and 4500
check:
90% of 4500 = 4050
cost: 3000+4500 = 7500
income: 3450+4050 = 7500
