Study Notes

Profit & Loss

  • Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit
  • Selling Price = Cost Price – Loss
  • Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) x 100%
  • Loss % = (Loss / Cost Price) x 100%

Discount

  • Discount = (Discount % / 100) x Original Price
  • Final Price = Original Price – Discount

VAT

  • VAT = (VAT % / 100) x Price
  • Final Price = Original Price + VAT
  • Many islands charge VAT, typically around 15%

Hire Purchase

  • Total Paid = Deposit + (Monthly Installment x Number of Months)
  • Hire purchase usually costs more than buying outright
  • Example: Peter paid $100 extra for a motorbike purchased through hire purchase, which is 11.1% more than the original price.
