Here are the solutions to problems 1 to 6.
1.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Cost Price (CP) = Gh¢12.50
Profit percentage = 30% = 0.30
Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (SP).
SP=CP×(1+ProfitPercentage)
SP=Gh¢12.50×(1+0.30)
SP=Gh¢12.50×1.30
SP=Gh¢16.25
The selling price was Gh¢16.25.
2.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Selling Price (SP) = Gh¢20.00
Profit percentage = 25% = 0.25
Step 2: Calculate the Cost Price (CP).
CP=1+ProfitPercentageSP
CP=1+0.25Gh¢20.00
CP=1.25Gh¢20.00
CP=Gh¢16.00
The cost price of the article was Gh¢16.00.
3.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Selling Price (SP) = Gh¢300
Profit percentage = 20% = 0.20
Step 2: Calculate the Cost Price (CP).
CP=1+ProfitPercentageSP
CP=1+0.20Gh¢300
CP=1.20Gh¢300
CP=Gh¢250
The cost price was Gh¢250.
4.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Cost Price (CP) = Gh¢15,000.00
Profit percentage = 20% = 0.20
Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (SP).
SP=CP×(1+ProfitPercentage)
SP=Gh¢15,000.00×(1+0.20)
SP=Gh¢15,000.00×1.20
SP=Gh¢18,000.00
His selling price was Gh¢18,000.00.
5.
Step 1: Identify the given values.
Cost Price (CP) = Gh¢8,500
Selling Price (SP) = Gh¢9,500
Step 2: Calculate the profit.
Profit=SP−CP
Profit=Gh¢9,500−Gh¢8,500
Profit=Gh¢1,000
Step 3: Calculate the percentage gain.
Percentage Gain=CPProfit×100%
Percentage Gain=Gh¢8,500Gh¢1,000×100%
Percentage Gain=85001000×100%
Percentage Gain=172×100%
Percentage Gain≈11.7647%
His percentage gain was approximately 11.76%.
6.
Step 1: Calculate the total revenue from each batch of boxes.
Revenue from 100 boxes:
R1=100boxes×80Gp/box=8000 Gp
Revenue from 800 boxes:
R2=800boxes×60Gp/box=48000 Gp
Revenue from 600 boxes:
R3=600boxes×40Gp/box=24000 Gp
Step 2: Calculate the total number of boxes sold.
Total Boxes=100+800+600=1500 boxes
Step 3: Calculate the total revenue.
Total Revenue=R1+R2+R3
Total Revenue=8000Gp+48000Gp+24000 Gp
Total Revenue=80000 Gp
Step 4: Calculate the average selling price per box.
Average Selling Price per Box=TotalBoxesTotalRevenue
Average Selling Price per Box=1500boxes80000Gp
Average Selling Price per Box=15800 Gp/box
Average Selling Price per Box=3160 Gp/box
Average Selling Price per Box≈53.33 Gp/box
The average selling price per box was approximately 53.33Gp.
