Miscellaneous Problems

1. What is the bank discount of a note of $450, due in 6 months, discounted at a bank at 6%?

2. What are the proceeds of a note of $240, due in 4 months, discounted at a bank at 41%?

3. A note due in 3 months was discounted at a bank at 8% and yielded $196 proceeds. What was the face of

the note?

The discount is 2% of the face, and the proceeds 98% of the face. Therefore $196 98% of the face, and the face $196.98.

=

4. A note due in 9 months was discounted at a bank at 4% and yielded $3055.50 proceeds. Find the face of the note.

5. A note due in 2 months was discounted at a bank at 6% and yielded $561.33 proceeds. Find the face of the

note.

8. On a bill of goods with a list price of $200, is it better to accept trade discounts of 25 and 5, or of 20 and 10, and how much is the difference?

9. I bought goods, the price of which was $360, at discounts of 20%, and 163%. I sold the goods for $300. What was the gain per cent?

10. What is the amount of a bill of goods, the list price of which is $425.75, subject to trade discounts of 15% and 12%?

11. I sold goods for $280, at an advance of 12% above the cost. What was the cost?

Powers and Roots

Review p. 118.

√4 indicates the square root of 4; 8 the cube root of 8; 16 the fourth root of 16, etc.

32 indicates the square of 3 or the product of 3 and 3. 43 indicates the third power of 4, or the product of 4, 4, and 4. The small figure indicating the power is called the exponent.
