SOLUTION: Required to calculate: (2.86+0.75)+0.481° correct to 2 decimal places Calculation: (2.86+0.75) +0481 =(2.86+ 0.75) + (0.481x0.481) 61+0.231361 (by the calculator) =3.841361 84 (correct to 2 decimal places) Paul bought and sold a computer. He wrote his business activity as follows: Cost price of computer $1064 Marked price of computer = $1399 Discount on marked price = 5% Copyright © 2019, Some Rights Reserved. wwe faspassmaths.com Pg tor4a FAS-PASS Maths (If paid by cash) Calculate, @ Gi) The selling price (paid cash) SOLUTION: Data: The cost price of a computer is $1 064. The marked price of the computer is $1 399 and a discount of 5% is given off the marked price if it is paid for by cash. Required to calculate: The selling price of the computer Calculation: Discount if cash is paid is 5%. Discount =5% of $1399 = xs1399 100 = $69.95 Selling price = $1399 - $69.95 = $1329.05 OR Selling price is (100-5)% of $1399 = $1 329.05 The profit or loss as a percentage of the cost price. SOLUTION: Required to calculate: The percentage profit or loss Calculation: The profit, if cash is paid =$1329.05—$1064.00 = $265.05 Percentage profit if cash is paid =_P°8' 199 Cost price = 265.05 1949 $1064 = 24.91% = 24.9% (correct to 1 decimal place) However, if cash was not paid and some alternative payment was accepted, and there is no discount; this would lead to a different percentage profit.

SOLUTION: Data: Table showing the prices of three different sizes of cartons of orange juice. ‘The 350 ml volume is $4.20, the 450 ml carton is $5.35 and the 500 ml carton is $5.80. Required to state: The most cost-effective buy Solution: Carton size of 350 ml is sold for $4.20. $4.20 350 =1.20 cents Hence, cost per ml = Carton size of 450 ml is sold for $5.35 HesigMort par mi = 5535 450 =1.19 cents Carton size of 500 ml is sold for $5.80. Hence, cost per mt = 55:80 500 =1.16 cents If ‘costeffective’ means solely the cheapest buy, then 1.16 <1.19<1.20 and ‘orange juice in the 500 ml carton is then the most cost-effective.
