P = SP – BP L = BP - SP
= $126,00 – $120,00 = $3 950.00 - $3 500.00
= $6,00 = $450.00

• Monthly instalments are equal payments per month to be made by the customer.
• Interest on balance is the amount of money charged on the balance.
Examples
Example 1
Mrs Ndlovu bought a bed that had a marked price of $16 000 on hire purchase. She paid
a deposit of 10% and paid the remaining balance over 12 months.
Calculate a) the deposit paid.
b) the balance to be paid.
c) her monthly instalment.
Answer
10
a) Deposit = 100 × $16 000
= $ 1 600
b) Balance = $16 000 – $1 600
= $14 400
c) Monthly instalments = $14 400 ÷ 12
= $1 200
Example 2
The cash price of a stove is $50 000. Chipo paid a deposit of 30% of the cash price. She
was charged 40% interest on the balance which she paid in 20 monthly instalments.
a) Calculate the deposit.
b) Calculate the interest.
c) Calculate new balance.
d) What was the monthly instalment?
e) How much did she pay for the stove?
Answer
a) 30 × $50 000
Deposit = 100
= $15 000
balance after deposit = $50 000 – $15 000
= $35 000
b) 40 of 35 000
Interest = 100
= $14 000
c) New balance = $35 000 + $14 000 = $49 000
d) Monthly instalment = $49 000
20
= $2 450.00
e) Total paid for stove = $35 000
$14 000
+ $15 000
$64 000
EXERCISE D
Calculate the:
a) Deposit b) balance c) interest on the balance d) monthly instalment
Customer Goods bought Interest rate Repayment period
Mr Kadeze A radio $800 (deposit 10%) 10% 24 months
Mrs Gatsi A bed $1 200 (deposit 20 %) 15% 12 months
Mr Hodzi A house $20 000 (20%) 10% 12 months

DISCOUNT
Discount is the difference between the marked price (MP) and amount paid on goods and
services bought.
Businesses give discount to encourage customers to buy goods in cash or settle their debts
in time.
Discount is usually a percentage of the MP.
Examples
We calculate discount by:
(i) Subtracting Amount paid from MP,
For example, MP = $25; Amount Paid = $22, Discount = $25 – $22 = $3
(ii) multiplying MP by discount %
For example, MP = $60; Discount = 12,5%
Discount = 12,5% × $60 = 1212 % × $60 = 200
25 × $60 or
1
= 12,5
100 × $60 = 8 × $60 = $7,50
EXERCISE G
1. What is the amount discounted when the marked price is $80 and the discount is 7,5%?
