Sum of cost price ⇒ 50×48×4 + 50×48×6 = 5000
Sum of selling price ⇒ 100×48 = 4800
Therefore , Loss ⇒ (5000 – 4800) = Tk. 200 [Ans.]

Here , 20% = 5
1920+1280
Cost price ⇒ = 1600

So , Selling price ⇒ 1600×4 = Tk. 2000 [Ans. ]

Here , 30% = 10 Therefore , CP : SP ⇒ 10 : (10+3) = 10 : 13
Now , (100% - 20%) : (125% - 10.50) = 10 : 13
⇒ 1040% = 1250% - 105 ⇒ 210% = 105 ⇒ 100% = 50
So , The cost price of article is Tk. 50 [Ans.]
Q-19 : An article was sold for Rs. 5220 at a loss of 42% of the
cost price. What will be the selling price of the article for a
profit of 42% ?
Applying multiplying factor concept :
50
5220×29 = Tk. 9000 [Ans.]
Q-20 : A shopkeeper sells two watches for Rs. 308 each. On
one he gets 12% profit and on the other 12% loss. His profit
or loss in the entire transaction was ?
3
Here , 12% = 25 ; If profit ⇒ CP = 25 and SP = (25+3) = 28
CP₁ : SP₁ ⇒ 25 : 28 = (25 : 28)×11 = 275 : 308
CP₂ : SP₂ ⇒ 25 : 22 = (25 : 22)×14 = 350 : 308
Now , Total SP ⇒ (308+308) = 616 ; T. CP ⇒ (350+275) = 625
9
Loss = (625 – 616) = 9 Then , Loss% = 616×100 = 1.44%
Another approach :
−12×12
12 – 12 + = -1.44% [ - ve means loss%]

Q-32 : A milkman buys two cows for Rs. 3000. He sells first
cow at a profit of 22% and the second cow at a loss of 8%.
What is the SP of second cow if in the whole transaction there
is no profit no loss?
Here , 22% of CP₁ = 8% of CP₂
⇒ CP₁ : CP₂ = 4 : 11
11 23
Therefore , Selling price ⇒ 3000×15 × 25 = Rs. 2024 [Ans.]
Q-33 : Sum of CP’s of two cows is Rs. 39, 000. Both the cows
are sold at a profit of 20% and 40% respectively with their
SP’s being the same. What is the difference of CP’s of both
the cows?
Another approach :
CP₁ : SP₁ = 50 : 53 = 250 : 265
CP₂ : SP₂ = 125: 128 = 250 : 256
Now , (15 - 6) i.e 9 units ≡ 180 ; Then , 250 part ≡ 5000 [Ans.]
Q-36 : Jim sells a book to Carrey at a profit of 20% and
Carrey sells this book to Sid at a profit of 25%. Now Sid sells
this book at a loss of 10% to Simba. At what percentage loss
should Simba sells this book now so that his SP becomes equal
to Jim’s CP?
CP₁ : SP₁ = 5 : 6 ⇒ (5 : 6)×4 = 20 : 24
CP₂ : SP₂ = 4 : 5 ⇒ (4 : 5)×6 = 24 : 30
CP₃ : SP₃ =10 : 9 ⇒ (10 : 9)×3 = 30 : 27
So , Cost price of Simba is 27
7
Therefore , loss% ⇒ 27 i.e. 25.92% [Ans.]
