5. A man sold a fan for Rs. 465. Find the cost price if he incurred a loss of 7%.
Solution: CP = [100 / (100 – Loss %)] * SP
Therefore, the cost price of the fan = (100/93)*465 = Rs. 500
6. In a transaction, the profit percentage is 80% of the cost. If the cost further increases by 20% but the selling
price remains the same, how much is the decrease in profit percentage?
Solution:
Let us assume CP = Rs. 100.
Then Profit = Rs. 80 and selling price = Rs. 180.
The cost increases by 20% → New CP = Rs. 120, SP = Rs. 180.
Profit % = 60/120 * 100 = 50%.
Therefore, Profit decreases by 30%.
7. A man bought some toys at the rate of 10 for Rs. 40 and sold them at 8 for Rs. 35. Find his gain or loss percent.
Solution:
Cost price of 10 toys = Rs. 40 → CP of 1 toy = Rs. 4.
Selling price of 8 toys = Rs. 35 → SP of 1 toy = Rs. 35/8
Therefore, Gain = 35/8 – 4 = 3/8.
Gain percent = (3/8)/4 * 100 = 9.375%

cost per unit of production as $33.

19. If only 5000 units is all that is expected to sell to the government this year what should the per unit selling price
be to make a %25 profit this year?
Answer: Total costs = 100000 + 5000(33) = 265000
% profit = 100(revenue – cost)/cost
Therefore, 25 = 100(revenue – 265000)/265000
or, revenue = 265000(1.25) = 331250
Selling price = 331250/5000 = $66.25 / unit

New selling price = 455000/8000 = $56.875 per unit.
