1. (b) ∵ $360 < $420 3. (a) Loss = $(50 − 42)

i.e. Selling price < cost price = $8

∴ There is a loss. Loss % =

$8
$50
× 100%
Loss = $(420 − 360)
= 16%
= $60
(c) ∵ $4 900 > $1 700
(b) Loss = $(300 − 180)
= $120
i.e. Selling price > cost price
∴
$120
There is a profit. Loss % = × 100%
$300
Profit = $(4 900 − 1 700) = 40%
= $3 200 (c) Selling price = $(65 − 39)
(d) ∵ $56.5 > $38 = $26
i.e. Selling price > cost price $39
∴ There is a profit.
Loss % =
$65
× 100%

Profit = $(56.5 − 38) = 60%

= $18.5 (d) Cost price = $(7.2 + 16.8)

(e) ∵ $840 < $960 = $24
$16.8
i.e. Selling price < cost price Loss % = × 100%
∴ There is a loss.
$24
= 70%
Loss = $(960 − 840)
$400
= $120 4. Profit % = × 100%
$640
= 62.5%
2. (a) Profit = $(90 − 60)
= $30
5. Loss = $(4 500 − 3 150)
$30
Profit % = × 100% = $1 350
$60
$1 350
= 50% Loss % = × 100%
$4 500
(b) Profit = $(350 − 280)
= 30%
= $70
$70
Profit % = × 100% 6. (a) Loss = $(360 − 180)
$280
= 25% = $180
$180
(c) Selling price = $(400 + 72) Loss % = × 100%
$360
= $472
= 50%
$72
Profit % = × 100% (b) Profit = $(360 − 180)
$400
= 18% = $180
$180
(d) Cost price = $(12.8 − 0.3) Profit % = × 100%
$180
= $12.5
= 100%
$0.3
Profit % = × 100%
$12.5
= 2.4% 7. Cost price = $(1 890 + 360)
= $2 250
 $360 = $1 890
Loss % = × 100%
$2 250
= 16%
15. (a) Selling price = $x × (1 − 15%)
= $x × 0.85
$800
8. (a) Loss % = × 100% = $0.85x
$3 200
(b) 0.85x = 187
= 25%
x = 187 ÷ 0.85
(b) Cost price = $(3 200 + 800)
= 220
= $4 000
$800
∴ The cost price was $220.
Loss % = × 100%
$4 000
= 20% 16. Let $m be the cost price.
m × (1 + 80%) = 216
9. Profit = $45 000 × 28% m × 1.8 = 216
= $45 000 × 0.28 m = 216 ÷ 1.8
= $12 600 = 120
∴ Nancy paid $120 for the book.
10. Loss = $2 400 × 5%
= $2 400 × 0.05 17. (a) Total income = $15 × 8 × 5
= $120 = $600
11. Selling price = $770 × (1 − 30%) (b) Profit = $(600 − 300)
= $770 × 0.7 = $300
= $539 $300
Profit % = × 100%
$300
= 100%
12. Selling price = $9 600 × (1 + 2.5%)
= $9 600 × 1.025 18. (a) Total selling price = $(20 × 12 − 40) × 3.6
= $9 840
= $(240 − 40) × 3.6
= $200 × 3.6
13. Let $x be the cost price. = $720
x × 120% = 840 $30
Loss % = × 100%
x × 1.2 = 840 $(720 + 30)
x = 840 ÷ 1.2 = 4%
= 700 (b) Cost price of each dozen apples
∴ The cost price is $700. =
$(720 + 30)
20
= $37.5
14. Let $y be the cost price.
y × 30% = 810 19. Total cost price = $(2 500 + 3 900)
0.3y = 810 = $6 400
y = 810 ÷ 0.3 Loss = $(6 400 − 4 800)
= 2 700 = $1 600
∴ The cost price is $2 700. Loss % =
$1 600
× 100%
$6 400
Selling price = $(2 700 − 810)
 = 25%
24. Let $x be the cost price of each T-shirt.
20. Paul’s profit = $(620 − 500) 8 000x × 60% = 288 000
= $120 8 000x × 0.6 = 288 000
$120 4 800x = 288 000
Paul’s profit % = × 100%
$500 x = 288 000 ÷ 4 800
= 24% = 60
Jason’s profit = $(1 620 − 1 500) ∴ The cost price of each T-shirt is $60.
= $120
$120 25. Let $y be the cost price of the bag of tea leaves.
Jason’s profit % = × 100%
$1 500 y × (1 + 40%) = 5 600
= 8%
∵
1.4y = 5 600
24% ≠ 8%
∴
y = 5 600 ÷ 1.4
They didn’t make the same profit per cent.
= 4 000
∴ The cost price of the bag of tea leaves is
21. (a) Selling price = $80 000 × (1 + 15%) $4 000.
= $80 000 × 1.15 Profit = $(5 600 − 4 000)
= $92 000 = $1 600
(b) Profit = $(92 000 + 2 400 − 80 000)
= $14 400 26. (a) Let $k be the cost price of a bottle of tea.
$14 400
Profit % = × 100% k × (1 + 75%) = 9.8
$80 000
1.75k = 9.8
= 18%
k = 9.8 ÷ 1.75
= 5.6
22. (a) Selling price = $30 000 × (1 − 20%)
= $30 000 × 0.8
∴ The cost price of a bottle of tea is $5.6.
(b) Special price = $[3 × 5.6 × (1 + 25%)]
= $24 000
= $16.8 × 1.25
(b) Loss = $(24 000 − 21 600)
= $21
= $2 400
$2 400
Loss % = × 100%
$24 000 27. (a) Let $m be the cost price of the vase.
= 10% m × (1 − 40%) = 32 400
m × 0.6 = 32 400
23. (a) Profit = $600 000 × 20% m = 32 400 ÷ 0.6
= $120 000 = 54 000
(b) Let $x be the cost price. ∴ The cost price of the vase is $54 000.
x × (1 + 20%) = 600 000 (b) Loss = $(54 000 − 48 600)
1.2x = 600 000 = $5 400
x = 600 000 ÷ 1.2 $5 400
Loss % = × 100%
= 500 000 $54 000
∴ The cost price is $500 000. = 10%
Profit = $(600 000 − 500 000) ∵ 10% < 15%
= $100 000 ∴ The deal can be made.
 m × (1 + 10%) = 792
28. Let $n be the cost price of the sofa. m × 1.1 = 792
n × (1 + 50%) = 3 600 m = 792 ÷ 1.1
n × 1.5 = 3 600 = 720
n = 3 600 ÷ 1.5 ∴ The cost price of the jacket is $720.
= 2 400
∴
(b) Original profit = $(792 − 720)
The cost price of the sofa is $2 400.
= $72
New profit = $(3 600 + 240 − 2 400)
New profit = $72 × (1 + 25%)
= $1 440
= $72 × 1.25
$1 440
New profit % = × 100% = $90
$2 400
New selling price = $(720 + 90)
= 60%
= $810
29. Let $x be the cost price of the oven.
x × (1 − 4%) = 1 200 32. (a) Total cost price = $(9 000 + 6 000)
x × 0.96 = 1 200 = $15 000
x = 1 200 ÷ 0.96 Total selling price
= 1 250 = $[9 000 × (1 − 10%) + 6 000 × (1 + 20%)]
∴ The cost price of the oven is $1 250. = $(9 000 × 0.9 + 6 000 × 1.2)
(a) Loss = $(1 250 − 950) = $15 300
= $300 ∵ $15 300 > $15 000
$300 i.e. Total selling price > total cost price
Loss % =
$1 250
× 100%
∴ He made a profit.
= 24% (b) Overall profit %
(b) Selling price = $1 250 × (1 + 36%) $(15 300 − 15 000)
= × 100%
$15 000
= $1 250 × 1.36
$300
= $1 700 = × 100%
$15 000
= 2%
30. (a) Let $y be the selling price of the camera.
y × 60% = 1 800 33. (a) Total selling price
y × 0.6 = 1 800 = $[ 15 × 200 × (1 + 40%) +
y = 1 800 ÷ 0.6 4 × 1 000 × (1 + 5%)]
= 3 000
∴
= $(3 000 × 1.4 + 4 000 × 1.05)
The selling price of the camera is
= $8 400
$3 000.
(b) Total cost price = $(15 × 200 + 4 × 1 000)
(b) Cost price = $(3 000 + 1 800) = $7 000
= $4 800 Overall profit = $(8 400 − 7 000)
$1 800
Loss % = × 100% = $1 400
$4 800
$1 400
= 37.5% Overall profit % = × 100%
$7 000
= 20%
31. (a) Let $m be the cost price of the jacket.
34. (a) Let $x be the cost price of the kettle. = $28
x × (1 − 60%) = 180 $28
Overall loss % = × 100%
x × 0.4 = 180 $700
= 4%
x = 180 ÷ 0.4
= 450
∴ The cost price of the kettle is $450.
Let $y be the cost price of the coffee
machine.
y × (1 + 60%) = 2 160
y × 1.6 = 2 160
y = 2 160 ÷ 1.6
= 1 350
∴ The cost price of the coffee machine is
$1 350.
(b) Total cost price = $(450 + 1 350)
= $1 800
Total selling price = $(180 + 2 160)
= $2 340
∵ $1 800 < $2 340
i.e. Total cost price < total selling price
∴ He made a profit.
(c) Overall profit = $(2 340 − 1 800)
= $540
$540
Overall profit % = × 100%
$1 800
= 30%

35. (a) Number of bags of chips = 180 ÷ 6

= 30
Profit = $(35 × 30 − 700)
= $350
$350
Profit % = × 100%
$700
= 50%
(b) (i) Total selling price
= $[35 × 12 + 14 × (30 − 12)]
= $672
∵ $700 > $672
i.e. Total cost price > total selling price
∴ He made a loss.
(ii) Overall loss = $(700 − 672)
