Sample questions

1. A pen is sold for $40 after a loss of 20%. What was the cost price of the pen?

   1. $48
   2. $50
   3. $45
   4. $42
   Show answer

   Answer: B. $50

   If the selling price is $40 and there's a loss of 20%, the formula to calculate cost price is: Cost Price = Selling Price / (1 - Loss Percentage). Thus, Cost Price = 40 / (1 - 0.20) = 40 / 0.80 = $50.

2. An item was sold at a loss of 25%. If the selling price is $75, what was the cost price?

   1. $90
   2. $100
   3. $80
   4. $70
   Show answer

   Answer: B. $100

   Using the formula: Cost Price = Selling Price / (1 - Loss Percentage). Here, Cost Price = 75 / (1 - 0.25) = 75 / 0.75 = $100.

3. A student bought a bike for $540 and sold it for $486. What was the loss percentage?

   2. 20%
   3. 12%
   4. 15%
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 10%

   Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price = 540 - 486 = $54. Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) * 100 = (54 / 540) * 100 = 10%.

4. An electronic gadget is bought for $800 and sold for $680. Calculate the loss percentage.

   2. 15%
   3. 20%
   4. 12.5%
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 15%

   Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price = 800 - 680 = $120. Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) * 100 = (120 / 800) * 100 = 15%.

5. A dealer bought three dozen eggs for $120 and sold them at a loss of 10%. How much did he sell all the eggs for?

   2. $110
   3. $115
   4. $112
   Show answer

   Answer: A. $108
