Let the cost price be 10x and selling price be 11x

Percentage Profit = $\frac{11x – 10x}{10x}$ x 100 = 10

Given: Profit = 12%
Discount on printed price = 10%
Let’s say cost price is $x$ and printed price is $y$
hence sold price will be $x$ + $\frac{12x}{100}$ and $y$ – $\frac{10y}{100}$
Both should be equal:
hence $x$ + $\frac{12x}{100}$ = $y$ – $\frac{10y}{100}$
$\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{45}{56}$

Given:
Ratio of two numbers = 3:5
Hence we can say first number is $3x$ and second number is $5x$
Product of two numbers is = 2160
or $15x^{2}$ = 2160
or $x$ = 12
hence numbers will be 30 and 60

Given: ratio of A and B is 3:2 and total money to be divided 1000
let’s say A received $3x$ and B received $2x$
hence  $3x$ +  $2x$ = 1000
or $x$ = 200

Given: Terms are in ratio 7:11
let’s say first term $7x$ and second term $11x$
adding $y$ to each term, it will be $7x+y$ and $11x+y$
and its ratio will be 3:4
hence $7x+y$ : $11x+y$ = 3:4
on solving above equation we get $5x$ = $y$
hence adding number should be a multiple of 5.

Let’s say numbers are $7x$ and $11x$
adding 7 to each of them
hence $\frac{7x+7}{11x+7}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$
or $x$ = 7
smaller digit will be 49

As we know cost price + profit = selling price
let’s say cost price is $x$
as profit is 200% on cost price it will be $2x$
hence selling price will be 3x and ratio of cost price to selling price will be 1:3

In first container quantity of milk relative to water is $\frac{5}{3} \times100$ = 166.65%
In second container quantity of milk relative to water is $\frac{2}{1} \times100$ = 200%
In third container quantity of milk relative to water is $\frac{2}{1} \times100$ = 150%
In fourth container quantity of milk relative to water is $\frac{7}{4} \times100$ = 175%
hence third container has least ratio

let’s say one number is $x$ and another is $3x$
summation will be $4x$ = 240
$x$ = 60
hence number will be 60 and 180
and difference will be 120.

let’s say income is $11x$ and expenditure is $10x$ hence saving will be $x$
so when saving is $x$, annual income is $11x$
