Finding Selling Price

Arjun makes jewelry using semi – precious stones. He has a necklace which coasts him Rs. 1050 to make. He sells this at a profit of Rs 190 at his shop. What is the selling price of the necklace?

The earring costs him Rs. 765 to make. He sells this at a loss of Rs. 84 What is the selling price of the earrings?

When there is profit
When there is loss 
Cost price of the necklace = 1050
Cost price of the earrings = Rs. 765 
Profit = Rs. 190
Loss = Rs. 84 
 Selling price = ? 
Selling price = ? 
 SP = CP + Profit 
SP = CP – Loss 
 SP =  Rs. 1050 +  Rs. 190 +  Rs. 1240 
SP =  Rs. 765 – Rs. 84 = Rs. 681  
Check: When SP > CP there is a profit 
Check: When SP > CP there is a loss 
SP – CP = Profit
SP – CP = loss 
 Rs. 1240 – Rs. 1050 = Rs. 190
Rs. 765 – Rs. 681 = Rs. 84 
 Answer: The selling price of the necklace was Rs. 1240. 
Answer: The selling price of the earring was Rs. 681. 

USING MODELS

All the three values related to profit and loss can be represented with help of these models.

Using Models- (a-b)

Use the models by filling in the known values. It can help us decide how to find the missing value.

(a) CP = Rs. 950
SP = Rs. 1250
P/L = ?
Rs. 1250 – Rs. 950 = Rs. 300 profit

Using Models

Subtract to find the difference

(b) SP = Rs. 796
L = Rs. 83
CP = Rs. ?
Rs. 796 + Rs. 83 = Rs. 879 Cost Price

Using model B

Using Models-2

Add to find the sum

(c) CP = Rs. 1438
P = Rs. 415
SP = ?
Rs. 1438 + Rs. 415 = Rs. 1853 Selling Price

Using model A 

Using Models-3

Add to find the sum
