Answer: 1 Mark
Let the Fanta, Coca-Cola and Sprite bottles be 8x, 15x, 12x.
The total number of Fanta bottle is 120.
So, 8x = 120

x = 15
Then coca cola bottles =15×15=225
Sprite bottles =12×15=180.
So, the total number of bottle is 120 + 225 + 180 = 525.
Alternative Method:

Let 'x' be the total number of bottles.
Now, the bottles are in the ratio 8: 15: 12
The sum of these numbers = 8 + 15 + 12 = 35
The number of Fanta bottles = 120
Also number of Fanta bottles=835×x = 120
So, x=358×120=525
Hence the total number of bottles is 525.

Calculations: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Cost price = ₹ 12000, overhead charges = ₹ 2850
Total cost price = ₹ (12000 + 2850) = 14850
Selling Price = ₹ 13860
Selling Price < Cost Price Loss
Loss = Cost price - Selling price
Loss = ₹ (14850-13860) = ₹ 990

Loss percentage = LossCost Price×100
 Loss percentage = 99014850×100 = 6.7 %
So, Ravi incurred a loss of 6.7%.

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark


Number of questions Aarush used to solve initially = 4 questions in 16 minutes
Time needed to solve a question = 164 = 4 minutes


Number of questions Aarush can solve after practising = 6 questions in 18 minutes
Time needed to solve a question = 186 = 3 minutes


Decrease in time to solve a single question = 4 - 3 = 1 minutes.
Therefore, the percentage decrease is given by
Decrease Percent = amount decreasedOriginal or base×100
On substituting the values, we get:
Decrease in percentage = 14×100 = 25%
Hence, after practising Aarush reduced 25% of the time to solve a single question.


Question 104.


Rashi went  toy shopping with her mother and saw a toy whose marked price was  ₹ 200. The shopkeeper was selling  it at a discount of 20%. The shopkeeper still makes a profit of 60%. Find the cost price of the toy. [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Concept: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
 Marked price  of the toy = ₹ 200
Discount  =   20%.


Discount = Discount % of Marked Price 


               = 20100×200


                = ₹ 40
Selling price = Marked Price - Discount 
                    = ₹( 200- 40 ) 


                    = ₹ 160
It is given that even after the discount the shopkeeper was making a profit of 60%.
So, the cost price of the toy
=100160×160=100
Hence, the actual price of the toy is ₹ 100.


Question 105.


Radhika bought a new mobile phone and saved   1000 when a discount of 10% was given. What was the price of the mobile phone before the discount? What was the selling price of the phone?
[4 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 2 Mark
Price before discount: 1 Mark
Selling price: 1 Mark
Given that,
Radhika bought a new mobile phone and saved  1000 when a discount of 10% was given.
We can infer from the above statement that 10% of the original price =   1000
10% of the original price =   1000
Let the price be P.
10% of P = 1000
10100×P = 1000
P=1000×10010
P =   10000
Hence the original price of the mobile phone is   10000.
Now, the original price of the mobile phone is   10000.
Discount given =   1000
The Selling price or the price at which the phone was sold = Original Price - Discount
On substituting the values we get:
Selling Price = 10000 - 1000 =   9000
Hence, the mobile phone was sold at   9000.


Question 106.

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Here,
It is given that Soham bought a sofa for Rs6500.
He paid Rs 975 as interest in three years.
Let, Principal amount be 'P' = Rs 6500
Interest be 'I' = Rs 975
Time be 'T' = 3 years
The rate of interest =?
Let the rate of interest be 'R'.
We know that,
I=P×T×R100
R=I×100P×T
R=975×1006500×3
R=5
Hence the rate of interest is 5%.


Question 107.


Meet saves ₹ 4000 from her salary. If this is 10% of her salary. What is her salary and also find her net expenditure? However, Meet wanted to buy a bike, so she started to save 30% of her salary. How much is she saving now? [4 MARKS]

Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark each
Given that:
Meet saves ₹ 4000 from her salary, which is 10% of her salary. 
Let Meet’s salary be ₹  x
Given that,
10% of x=4000
10100×x=4000
x10=4000
x=4000×10=40000
Therefore, Meet’s salary is ₹ 40,000.
Her net expenditure = Salary - savings = 40000 - 4000 = ₹ 36,000
Now in order to buy a bike Meet starts saving 30% of her salary.
Her salary is ₹ 40,000.

The total amount she starts saving monthly = 30100×40,000 =  12,000
Her net saving monthly is ₹ 12,000.


Question 108.


If Meena gives an interest of  ₹ 45 for one year at 9 % rate p.a what is the sum she has borrowed? What is the net amount she pays at the end of one year?
[4 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given,
Meena pays an interest of   45 for one year.
The rate of interest is 9 %
Interest =   45
Time = 1 year
Rate of interest =  9%
Let the principal be P
We know that,
S.I=P×R×T100
45=P×9×1100
P =45×1009
P =   ₹ 500
The sum she borrowed is   500.
The net amount she will pay at the end of one year = 500 + 45 =   545.

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Each answer: 1 Mark
Given,
Harish borrowed ₹ 7500 from a bank.
a) The rate of interest is 5 %  p.a.

The principal amount, P =  7500
Rate of Interest, R = 5 %  p.a.
Time, T = 3 years
S.I.=P×R×T100
S.I.=7500×5×3100
S.I.=  1125
Amount = Principal + Interest
Amount = 7500 + 1125
Amount =   8625
Hence, the total amount to be paid at the end of three years is  ₹ 8625
b) Now, Harish was able to pay only  ₹ 5625.
So, the remaining amount
=   (8625 - 5625) =  3000
The new principal amount =   3000
The rate of interest is same = 5 % p.a.
The interest which he has to pay at the end of the fourth year
 = 
5100×3000 =  ₹ 150
So, the amount which Harish has to pay at the end of the fourth year
= 3000 + 150 =  ₹ 3150
 
Question 110.

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Concept: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark Each
 Given that,
Cost price = ₹ 2500
Selling price = ₹ 3000
Selling price > Cost price Profit
Profit = 3000 - 2500 = ₹ 500
Profit %=ProfitCP×100
Profit %=5002500×100
Profit %=20%
Now it was sold for ₹ 2000.
The selling price, SP = ₹ 2000
SP<CP
Therefore it is a case of loss.
Loss = CP - SP = 2500 - 2000 = ₹ 500
So, the loss % is given by, 
Loss % = 5002500×100 = 20 %
