6th Standard Maths Practice Set 33 Answers Chapter 13 Profit-Loss

Question 1.
Maganlal bought trousers for Rs 400 and a shirt for Rs 200 and sold them for Rs 448 and Rs 250 respectively. Which of these transactions was more profitable?
Solution:
Cost price of trousers = Rs 400
Selling price of trousers = Rs 448
Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 448 – 400 = Rs 48
Let Maganlal make x % profit on selling trousers

∴ x = 12%
Cost price of shirt = Rs 200
Selling price of shirt = Rs 250
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 250 – 200
= Rs 50
Let Maganlal make y% profit on selling shirt.

∴ y = 25%
∴ Transaction involving selling of shirt was more profitable.

Question 2.
Ramrao bought a cupboard for Rs 4500 and sold it for Rs 4950. Shamrao bought a sewing machine for Rs 3500 and sold it for Rs 3920. Whose transaction was more profitable?
Solution:
Cost price of cupboard = Rs 4500
Selling price of cupboard = Rs 4950
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 4950 – 4500
= Rs 450
Let Ramrao make x% profit on selling cupboard

∴ x = 10%
Cost price of sewing machine = Rs 3500
Selling price of sewing machine = Rs 3920
∴Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 3920 – 3500
= Rs 420
Shamrao make y% profit on selling sewing machine.

∴y = 12%
∴Shamrao’s transaction was more profitable.

Question 3.
Hanif bought one box of 50 apples for Rs 400. He sold all the apples at the rate of Rs 10 each. Was there a profit or loss? What was its percentage?
Solution:
Cost price of 50 apples = Rs 400
Selling price of one apple = Rs 10
∴ Selling price of 50 apples = 10 x 50 = Rs 500
Selling price is greater than the total cost price.
∴ Hanif made a profit.
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 500 – 400
= Rs 100
Let Hanif make of x% profit on selling apples.

∴ x = 25%
∴ Hanif made a profit of 25%.

1. x + 9 = 11
2. x – 4 = 9
3. 8x = 24
4. \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\) = 3

Solution:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides.
2. Add 4 to both sides.
3. Divide both sides by 8.
4. Multiply both sides by 6.

Question 3.
Given below are some equations and the values of the variables. Are these values the solutions to those equations?

No.	Equation	Value of the Variable	Solution (Yes/No)
i.	y – 3 = 11	y = 3	No
ii.	17 = n + 7	n = 10
iii.	30 = 5x	x = 6
iv.	\(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14	m = 7

Solution:

No.	Equation	Value of the Variable	Solution (Yes/No)
i.	y – 3 = 11	y = 3	No
ii.	17 = n + 7	n = 10	Yes
iii.	30 = 5x	x = 6	Yes
iv.	\(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14	m = 7	No

i. y – 3 = 11
∴ y – 3 + 3 = 11 + 3
…. (Adding 3 to both sides)
∴ y + 0 = 14
∴ y = 14

ii. 17 = n + 7
∴ 17 – 7 = n + 7 – 7
…. (Subtracting 7 from both sides)
∴ 17 + (-7) = n + 7 – 7
∴ 10 = n
∴  n = 10

iii. 30 = 5x
∴ \(\frac{30}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}\)
…. (Dividing both sides by 5)
∴  6 = 1x
∴ 6 = x
∴  x = 6

iv. \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14
∴ \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) × 2 = 14 × 2
…. (Multiplying both sides by 2)
\(\frac { m\times2 }{ 2\times1 }\) = 28
∴ m = 28

Question 4.
Solve the following equations:
i. y – 5 = 1
ii. 8 = t + 5
iii. 4x = 52
iv. 19 = m – 4
v. \(\frac { p }{ 4 }=9\)
vi. x + 10 = 5
vi. m – 5 = -12
vii. p + 4 = -1
Solution:
i. y – 5 = 1
∴y – 5 + 5 = 1 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴y + 0 = 6
∴y = 6

ii. 8 = t + 5
∴8 – 5 = t + 5 – 5
……(Subtracting 5 from both sides)
∴8 + (-5) = t + 0
∴ 3 = t
∴t = 3

iii. 4x = 52
∴\(\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{52}{4}\)
…. (Dividing both sides by 4)
∴ 1x = 13
∴ x = 13

iv. 19 = m -4
∴ 19 + 4 = m – 4 + 4
…. (Adding 4 to both sides)
∴ 23 = m + 0
∴ m = 23

v. \(\frac { p }{ 4 }\) = 9
∴ \(\frac { p }{ 4 }\) × 4 = 9 × 4 …. (Multiplying both sides by 4)
∴ \(\frac { p\times4 }{ 4\times1 }=36\)
∴ 1p = 36
∴ p = 36

vi. x + 10 = 5
∴ x + 10 – 10 = 5 – 10
…. (Subtracting 10 from both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 5 + (-10)
∴ x = -5

vii. m – 5 = -12
∴m – 5 + 5 = – 12 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴m + 0 = -7
∴m = -7

viii. p + 4 = – 1
∴p + 4 – 4 = -1 – 4
…. (Subtracting 4 from both sides)
∴p + 0 = (-1) + (-4)
∴P = -5

Question 5.
Write the given information as an equation and find its solution:
i. Haraba owns some sheep. After selling 34 of them in the market, he still has 176 sheep. How many sheep did Haraba have at first?

ii. Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles. After giving away 7 of the bottles to her friends she still has 12 for herself. How many bottles had she made in all? If she filled 250g of jam in each bottle, what was the total weight of the jam she made?

iii. Archana bought some kilograms of wheat. She requires 12 kg per month and she got enough wheat milled for 3 months. After that, she had 14 kg left. How much wheat had Archana bought altogether?
Solution:
i. Let the number of sheep before selling be x.
∴ x – 34 = 176
∴ x – 34 + 34 = 176 + 34 ….(Adding 34 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 210
∴ x = 210
The number of sheep with Haraba before selling is 210.

ii. Let the total number of bottles be x.
∴ x – 7 = 12
∴ x – 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 ….(Adding 7 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 19
∴ x = 19
Weight of jam in each bottle = 250g
∴ Total weight of jam = 19 × 250g = 4750 g = \(\frac { 4750 }{ 1000 }\)kg = 4.75 kg
∴ The total number of bottles of jam made by Sakshi is 19, and the total weight of jam made is 4.75 kg.

iii. Let the total wheat bought by Archana be x kg.
Wheat used in 1 month = 12 kg
∴ Wheat used in 3 months = 3 × 12 = 36 kg
∴ x – 36 = 14
∴ x – 36 + 36 = 14 + 36 ….(Adding 36 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 50
∴ x = 50
∴ The total amount of wheat bought by Archana was 50 kg.

Question 4.
Avinash traveled 42 km 365 m by bus, 12 km 460 in by car and walked 640 m. How many kilometers did he travel altogether? (Write your answer in decimal fractions)
Solution:
Distance traveled in bus = 42 km 365 m
= 42 km + \(\frac { 365 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 42 km + 0.365 km

= 42.365 km
Distance travelled in car = 12 km 460 m
= 12 km + \(\frac { 460 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 12 km + 0.460 km

= 12.460 km
Distance walked = 640 m
= \(\frac { 640 }{ 1000 }\) = 0.640 km
∴ Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in bus + Distance travelled in car + Distance walked
= 42.365 + 12.460 + 0.640

= 55.465 km
∴ Distance travelled altogether by Avinash is 55.465 km.

Question 5.
Ayesha bought 1.80 m of cloth for her salwaar and 2.25 for her kurta. If the cloth costs Rs 120 per metre, how much must she pay the shopkeeper?
Solution:
Total length of cloth bought = 1.80 m + 2.25 m
= 4.05 m

Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs 120
∴ Cost of 4.05 m of cloth = 4.05 x 120

∴ Amount to be paid to the shopkeeper is Rs 486.

Question 6.
Sujata bought a watermelon weighing 4.25 kg and gave 1 kg 750 g to the children in her neighbourhood. How much of it does she have left?
Solution:
Total weight of watermelon = 4.25 kg
Weight of watermelon given to children = 1 kg 750 g
= 1 kg + \(\frac { 750 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= 1 kg + 0.75 kg

= 1.75 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left = Total weight of watermelon – Weight of watermelon given to children
= 4.25 kg – 1.75 kg

= 2.5 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left with Sujata is 2.5 kg.

Question 7.
Anita was driving at a speed of 85.6 km per hour. The road had a speed limit of 55 km per hour. By how much should she reduce her speed to be within the speed limit?
Solution:
