COMPARING QUANTITIES 16. SI = 𝟏𝟎𝟎
(*Profit and Loss are always calculated on CP. 17. Amount, A = P + SI
* Additional Expenses made after buying an article 18. Amount when interest is compounded
are included in the CP and are known as overhead annually,
expenses.)
𝑹 𝒏
1. CP = Buying Price + Overhead Expenses A = P [𝟏 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎]

2. Profit = SP – CP 19. Amount when interest is compounded half

yearly,
3. Loss = CP – SP
𝑹 𝟐𝒏
𝐏 𝐗 𝟏𝟎𝟎 A = P [𝟏 + 𝟐𝟎𝟎]
4. P% = 𝐂𝐏
𝐋 𝐗 𝟏𝟎𝟎 20. CI = A – P
5. L% = 𝐂𝐏
𝐍𝐨.𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎
6. Finding CP when SP & P% or L% 21. % of Increase = 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫

are given: 𝐍𝐨.𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎

22. % of Decrease = 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫
𝐒𝐏 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑺𝑷 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎
CP = 𝟏𝟎𝟎+𝐏% or CP = 𝟏𝟎𝟎−𝐋%

7. Finding SP when CP & P% or L% MENSURATION

are given: 1. Area of a rectangle = l x b
or S
𝐂𝐏(𝟏𝟎𝟎 + 𝐏%) s.p = 𝐂𝐏(𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝐋%)
SP = CP 2. Area of a square = s x s
𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝟏𝟎𝟎
𝟏
8. Discount is calculated on Marked Price: 3. Area of a triangle = 𝟐 x bh
Discount = Marked Price (MP) – Sale Price (SP) 4. Area of a parallelogram = bh
9. Discount can be found when Discount % is 𝟏
given: 5. Area of Trapezium = 𝟐 h ( a + b )
𝟏
Discount = Discount % of Marked Price 6. Area of a Rhombus = 𝟐. d1d2
10. SP = MP – Discount 𝟏
7. Area of a quadrilateral = 𝟐 d ( h1 + h2)
𝐃 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎
11. Rate of Discount (D%) = 𝐌𝐏 8. Area of a circle = 𝝅𝒓𝟐
𝐒𝐏 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎
12. MP = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝐃 % , when D % is given. 9. LSA of a cube = 4 𝒂𝟐
10. TSA of a cube = 6 𝒂𝟐
(Sales Tax is charged on the sale of an item by the
11. Volume of a cube = 𝒂𝟑
government, and is added to the Bill Amount.)
12. LSA of a cuboid = 2 h (a + b)
13. Sales Tax = Tax % of Bill Amount
11. TSA of cuboid = 2 x (lb +bh + lh)
14. Original Price + Tax = Bill Amount
𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐱 𝟏𝟎𝟎 12. Volume of a cuboid = l b h
15. Rate of Tax = 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞
