CASE I. When the price of 1 yard, 1 H, &c. is an even part of one fbilling-Find the value of the given quantity at Is. per yard, h, &c. then draw a line underneath, and divide it by that even part, and the quotient will be the answer in fhillings; which must always be brought into pounds. 1. What will 354 yards çoft, at d. per yard? S. d. d354 6 value of 354 yards, at is. per yard. Anf. Lo 7 4 value of 354 yards, at 4d. per yard. Or thus, Or divide by 8 and 6, thus; 8)354 6 2. What will 7594 yards come to, at 3d. per yard? S. d. 13d759 9 value at 1s. per yard. 210) 1819 11 Anf. 9 9 11 value at 3d. per yard. Or, thus: S. d. 13d.14137 19 9 value at 1s. per yard. Anf. £9 9 114 value 7594 yds. at 3d. per yd. When the price is pence, and no even part of a shilling Find the value of the given quantity at Is. per yard ;. divide the pence into aliquot parts, for divifors; and the fun of the quotients, ariling from them, will be the anfwer. EXAMPLES. 1. What will 4871 yards come to, at 5d. per yard? £. s. d. 6 value of 487 yards, at Is. per yd. 6104 value of ditto, at 3d per yard. value of ditto, at 2d. per yard. 4 I 3 When the price is pence or farthings, and an even part of a pound, cut off the right hand figure of the given quantity and the cypher, in the aliquot part (if it has one) and divide by the remaining figure or figures: When you come to the remainder, double it; and divide as before: The anfwer will be pounds, fhillings, &c. If there be no cypher in the divifor, then none fhould be cut off from the dividend. 13795 pds. at d. 13795 yes. at Id. 53795 yds. at 14d. 12.)37915 yds. at zd. * In dividing by 12, there remains 7 before the stroke, which Separates the 5; then 75 doubled, 150; and 12 is found 13 times in 150; which makes 125. 6d. When the price is between one and two fhillings ;-Find the value of the quantity at Is, per yard, &c. which value, being divided by thofe even parts which the pence are of Is. and the quotient or quotients, arifing therefrom, added thereto;-the fum will be the answer. I. EXAMPLES. What will 758 yards, at 1/9 per yard, come to ? Anf. £66 7 4 val. of 758 yds. at 1/9 per yd. When the price is any even number of billings under 40 ;—~ Multiply the given quantity, by half the price; and double the first figure of the product for fhillings; the reft of the product will be pounds. . N. B. If the price be 2s. you need only double the unit figure for fhillings; the other figures will be pounds. EXAMPLES. I. What will 746 yards coft, at 2s. per yard? 745 Anf. £74 12 value at 2s. per yard. Note. The above is done, by faying, twice 6 (the unit figure) is 12; the other figures, viz. 74, are pounds. 2. What will 5674 yards, at 2s. per yard, come to? Anj. £56 15/5. N. B. Before I double the unit figure, viz. 7, I confider, that of a yard, at 28. per yard, will amount to 15; then, 1 double 7, which makes 148. and 1/6 added, makes 15/6; the other figures are pounds. 38. 129 at 48. per yard, 25 18 0 |
