a) 150.08

per kg of wheat=670/5=134

100% = 134

112% = x

x=  (134×112)/100=150

e) 7.54

Butter:

Selling price (Sp)=168

Cost price (Cp) =(168×100)/95= 176.8

Cp of butter per kg=  176.8/4= 44.21

Pulse:

Selling price  = 99

Cost price =(100×99)/90  = 110

Cp of pulse per kg=  110/3= 36.67

Difference = 44.21-36.67= 7.54

3)  What is the selling percentage of oil? (approximation)

a) 101

b) 69

c) 65

b) 300

Sp of salt = 56 × 6= 342

Sp% => 114% = 342

Cp% => 100% =   (342×100)/114=300

D.6-10) The following pie charts give the value of the sales and expenses of five companies—A,B,C,D and E — as a percentage of the total sales and expenses of these five companies put together.

Note:-

I) Profit= sales – Expenses

II) Profit % = (profit/expenses) x 100

III) No company made a loss

6) The ratio of expenses to profit the is highest for which of the following companies? (Consider sales =10lakhs and expense=7.75 lakhs)

a) A

b) B

c) C

d) D

e) E

Click here to View Answer

a) A

Sales

A=(30×10)/100=3lakh

B=(20×10)/100= 2lakh

C=(25×10)/100= 2.5 lakh

D=(15×10)/100=1.5 lakh

E=(10×10)/100=  1lakh

Expense:

A=(7.75×30)/100= 2.325 lakh

B=(7.75×10)/100=0.775lakh

C=(7.75×20)/100= 1.55 lakh

D=(7.75×22)/100= 1.7 lakh

E=(7.75×30)/100=2.325lakh

Profit of A= 3-2.325

= 0.675lakh

Similarly,

B= 0.325lakh

C= 0.95 lakh

D= -0.205

E=-0.395

A=  2.325/0.675  = 3.44

B=  0.775/.325  = 0.58

C=  1.55/0.75  = 1.631

7) If the overall profit percentage of all the five companies put together was 50%, then  how many companies had a profit percentage greater than 60%?

a) None

b) Two

c) Four

d) Three

e) One

  1. b) Two

Total sale= 100 x and Total expense =100 Y

(100x-100y)×100/100 y=50

(x-y)/y=1/2

x=3/2 y

Now profit For A= 20 ×3y/2- 10y

= 20y

Similarly,

B=35y/2

C=3y/2

D=-3y

E=15y

Profit percentage A—→ (20y/10y)× 100 = 200%

B—→ (35y/20y)× 100 = 87.5%

C—-> (3y/44y) × 100 = 6.81%

D—→ (-3y/18y)× 100 =50/3%

E—-> (15y/30y)×100 = 50%

8) If the total sales were Rs.600 crore and the overall percentage of profit of all the five companies put together was 100%, what were the expense of company D?
