1). Cost Price = 53,000
% of profit = 14%
53,000 ------------ 100%
 ?        -----------   114%
Selling price = 60,420
Profit = 60,420-53,000
=7420
Answer is: c)



2). Selling price = 32,000+4000
=36,000
% of Profit =( 4000/36000)×100
= 12.5%
Answer is: a)




3). Profit on Yamaha Bike =3,500
From that profit on TVS Bike = 3500+500=4000
Selling Price of TVS Bike = 32,000
% of profit on TVS = (4000/28,000) × 100

Answer is: d)



4). Cost Price = 35,000
Selling Price = 35,000+3500

 Selling price = 22,000
Profit = 4,000
% of profit = (4000/18,000) × 100

Answer is: b)





6). Number of employees in Accounts Department
=17 × 12600/100

Required % = (3402 – 2646)/2646 × 100
= 756/2546 × 100
=28.57
= 29%
Answer is: b)



8). Difference = (38% of 12600 – 20% of 12600)
