Calculating Selling Price

We will learn how to solve different types of problems on calculating selling price.


Formulas to calculate selling price:

(i) If Cost Price of an article and gain on its selling are given, the Selling Price of the article will be sum of its Cost Price and gain.

Selling Price = Cost Price + Gain


(ii) If Cost Price of an article and loss on its selling are given, the Selling Price of the article will be Cost Price minus loss.

Selling Price = Cost Price – Loss


For calculating selling price, we add profit to the cost price or subtract loss from the cost price.

S.P. = C.P. + Profit

or, S.P. = C.P. - Loss


Solved Examples on Calculating Selling Price:

1. Lila purchased a chair for $ 257. She spent $ 50 on transportation. She sold it at a profit of $ 120. Find the selling price of the chair.

Cost Price of a chair = $ 257

Transportation = $ 50

Total Cost Price = $ 257 + $ 50

                      = $ 307

Profit               = $ 120

Selling Price      = Cost Price + Profit

                      = $ 307 + $ 120

                      = $ 427

Selling Price of the chair = $ 427.


2. A moped is bought at $ 15000. At what should it be sold to make a profit of $ 2180?

Cost Price of a moped = $ 15000

Profit made                = $ 2180

We know Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

                                = $ 15000 + $ 2180

                                 = $ 17180

The moped should be sold at $ 17180.


3. Nairitee bought jewellery item for $ 160. She sold it at a loss of $ 25. Find the selling price of the jewellery item.

Solution:

C.P. of the jewellery item = $ 160

                             Loss = $ 25

                              S.P. = C.P. - Loss                     

                                    = $ 160 - $ 25

                                    = $ 135
