 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1Mark
Steps: 1Mark
Answer: 1Mark
Given,
The number 'n' is first increased by 25%.
25
So, the new value of n
=n+n×25100=n×54
Now, the value of is again decreased by 20.
So, 20of the new value
=n×54×20100=n×14
So, the new value
=n×54 - n×14=n
Net percent change
=amount changedoriginal value×100
Net change = n - n = 0.
So on substituting the values we get:
Percent change = 0n×100 = 0
So, there is no percentage change.

Number circles = 26
Number of hearts = 1
Number of stars=1
Number of circles: number of hearts
26 : 1

Number of hearts: number of stars
1 : 1
Question 53. Are these ratios equivalent?  [1 MARK]

 Discuss Question

:
4 drivers: 1hour
4 : 1
20 drivers: 5hours
20: 5 4 : 1
Given ratios are equivalent.
Question 54. If a shopkeeper incurs 10% loss and 25% profit on items sold for   45 and   40 respectively, then find his net profit/loss.
[4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Application: 1Mark
Steps: 2Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Let the costprice of item sold at loss be x
x10%ofx=45
x10100×x=45
x110×x=45
10xx10=45
x=50Cost price is50
Loss = (50 - 45) = 5
Similarly, letthe costprice of an item sold at profitbe y.
y+25%ofy=40
y+25100×y=40
y+14×y=40
4y+y4=40
y=32Cost price is32
Profit = (40 - 32) = 8
Net gain = (8 - 5) = 3
So, the shopkeeper makes a profit of 3.

=36100
=36%
Question 56. The population of a town 2 years ago was 62500. Since some people migrate to different cities the number of people decreases every year at the rate of 4% per annum. Find its present population.  [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1 Mark
Application: 1Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that,
Population 2 years ago =62500.
Rate of decrease = 4 % p.a.

For population 1 year ago,
P = 62500 , R = 4 %, T = 1 year
S.I=P×R×T100
I=62500×4×1100
I=2500
After 1 year the population will decrease by 2500 people
Population 1 year ago is = 62500 - 2500 = 60,000
For present population,
P = 60,000, R = 4 %, T = 1 year
S.I=P×R×T100
I=60000×4×1100
I=2400
Present population = 60,000 - 2400 = 57,600
[We are subtractingthe population because population is decreasing by 4% p.a.]
The present population is 57,600.
Question 57. The marked price of a watch is ₹ 1250 and the shopkeeper allows 6% of discount on it. Find the selling price of the watch.
[2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that,
Marked Price of the watch = ₹ 1250.
6% discount on MP
6100×1250=75

SP = MP - Discount.
SP = ₹ 1250 - ₹ 75.
SP = ₹ 1175.

The selling price of the watch is ₹ 1175.
Question 58. Nishu saves ₹ 120 from her pocket money. If she saves 10% of her pocket money, what is her pocket money?  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Concept: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Let Nishu's pocket money be n
Given, she saves 10% of her pocket money.
10% of n = ₹ 120

10100×n=120
n=120×10010
n=1200
So, Nishu's pocket money is ₹ 1200.
Question 59. A sum of   56000 gives  280 as interest in 2 years. Find the rate of interest. If the interest rate was 11%, then find the interest in two years.  [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given,
Principal = 56,000
Time = 2 years
Interest = 280
Let the rate of interest be R % p.a.
S.I=P×R×T100
R=I×100P×T
R=280×10056000×2
R=280560×2
R=14=0.25
The rate of interest is 0.25 % .
We have to find the interest if the rate of interest was 11 %,
Interest = P×R×T100
On substituting the values we get,
Interest = 56000×11×2100 = 12320
Hence, the interest in two years if the rate was 11% is 12320.
Question 60. Juhi sold a washing machine for ₹ 13,500  at the loss of 20%. Find the cost price of the washing machine. At what price she must sell to gain 20%?
[4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given, Selling price = ₹ 13,500
Loss%=20%
Let the cost price be x.
Loss=20%ofx
Selling price = Cost price - Loss
13500=x20100×x
13500=x15x
13500=45x
x=16875
Therefore, she bought it for ₹ 16875.
So, cost price of the article = ₹ 16875

20%of the cost price
=20100×16875=3375
Net amount = 16875 + 3375 = ₹ 20250
So, in order to sell the washing machine at 20% profit, she needs to sell it at ₹ 20250.
