NOTE. When the price is pounds only, the tity multiplied thereby, will be the answer. EXAMPLE.-11 tuns of hay at 47. per tun. CASE III. 38 8 4 given quan Thus, 11 4 Ans. £44 When the given price is any number of shillings under 20. 1. When the shillings are an even number, multiply the quantity by half the number of shillings, and double the first figure of the product for shillings; and the rest of the product will be pounds. 2. If the shillings be odd, multiply the quantity by the whole number of shillings, and the product will be the an swer in shillings, which reduce to pounds. When the given price is pence, or pence and farthings, and not an even part of a shilling-Find the value of the given quantity at 1s. per yd. &c. which divide by the greatest even part of a shilling contained in the given price, and fake parts of the quotient for the remainder te price, and the sum of these several quotients will teŒrrer in shillings, &c. which reduce to pounds. EXAMPLES. What will 245 lb. of raisins come to, at 93d. per lb.

This is applicable to federal money. TARE and Tret are practical rules for deducting certain allowances which are made by merchants, in buying and selling goods, &c. by weight; in which are noticed the following particulars: 1.

Tare, which is an allowance made to the buyer, for the weight of the box, cask, or bag, &c. which contains the goods bought, and is either at so much per box, &c. or at so much per cwt. or at so much in the whole gross weight. 3. Tret, which is an allowance of 4 lb. on every 104 lb. for waste, dust, &c. 4. Cloff, which is an allowance made of 2 lb. upon every 3 cwt. 5. Suttle, is what remains after one or two allowances have been deducted. CASE I. When the question is an Invoice-Add the gross weights into one sum and the tares into another; then subtract the total tare from the whole gross, and the remainder will be the neat weight.

When the tare is at so much per box, cask, bag, &c.— Multiply the tare of 1 by the number of bags, bales, &c, the product is the whole tare, which subtract from the and the remainder will be the neat weight.
