Q.6A store purchased pens at ₹ 216 per dozen. He paid ₹ 58 for conveyance and sold the pens at the discount of n per pen and made an overall profit of ₹ 50. Find the M.P of each pen.v
Answer:

Cost of a dozen pens = ₹ 216
Paid for conveyance = ₹ 58
Cost price of 12 pens = 216 + 58 = ₹ 274 [∵ 1 dozen = 12]
Profit of 12 pens = ₹ 50
Profit = S.P – C.P
⇒ 50 = S.P – 274
⇒ S.P = 50 + 274 = ₹ 324
Also discount allowed per pen = ₹ 2
Discount for 12 pens = 2 × 12 = ₹ 24
S.P = M.P – Discount
⇒ 324 = M.P – 24
⇒ M.P = 324 + 24 = ₹ 348
Marked price for 12 pens = ₹ 348
M.P of a pen = \(\frac { 348 }{ 12 }\) = ₹ 29
M.P per pen = ₹ 29

Q.7A Vegetable vendor buys 10 kg of tomatoes per day at Rs 10 per kg, for the first three days of a week. 1 kg of tomatoes got smashed every day for those 3 days. For the remaining 4 days of the week, he buys 15 kg of tomatoes daily per kg. If for the entire week he sells tomatoes at Rs 20 per kg, then find his profit or loss for the week.v
Answer:

Total tomatoes bought for 3 days = 3 × 10 = 30 kg
Cost of 1 kg = ₹ 10
Cost of 30kg tomatoes = 30 × 10 = ₹ 300
Total tomatoes bought for other 4 days = 4 × 15 = 60 kg
Cost of 1 kg = ₹ 8
Cost of 60 kg tomatoes = 60 × 8 = ₹ 480
Total cost of 90 kg tomatoes = 300 + 480 = ₹ 780
C.P = ₹ 780
Tomatoes smashed = 3 kg
Total kg of Tomatoes for sale = 90 – 3 = 87 kg
S.P of 1 kg tomatoes = ₹ 20
S.P of 87 kg tomatoes = 87 × 20 = ₹ 1740
Here S.P > C.P
Profit = S.P – C.P = 1740 – 780 = ₹ 960
Profit = ₹ 960

Q.8An electrician buys a used T.V for ₹ 12,000 and a used Fridge for ₹ 11,000. After spending ₹ 1000 on repairing the T.V and ₹ 1500 on painting the Fridge, he fixes up the M.P of T.V as ₹ 15,000 and that of the Fridge as ₹ 15,500. If he gives each ₹ 1000 discount oh each find his profit or loss.v
Answer:

(i) Cost of a T.V = ₹ 12,000
Paid for repair = ₹ 1,000
C.P of the T.V = 12,000 + 1000 = ₹ 13,000
M.P of the T.V = ₹ 15,000
Discount on a TV = ₹ 1000
S.P = M.P – Discount = 15,000 – 1000 = ₹ 14,000
Here S.P > C.P
Profit = S.P – C.P = 14,000 – 13,000 = ₹ 1,000
Profit on the T.V = ₹ 1,000
(ii) Cost of the Fridge = ₹ 11,000
Painting charge = ₹ 1500
C.P of the Fridge = 11000 + 1500 = ₹ 12,500
M.P of the Fridge = ₹ 15,500
Discount allowed = ₹ 1000
S.P = M.P – Discount = ₹ 15,500 – ₹ 1000 = ₹ 14,500
Here also S.P > C.P
Profit = ₹ 14,500 – ₹ 12,500 = ₹ 2000
Total profit = Profit on T.V + Profit on Fridge = ₹ 1000 + ₹ 2000 = ₹ 3000
Profit = ₹ 3000
