Consumer Arithmetic

Example 1:
A television set has a selling price of $1950. A discount of 10% is offered for cash. What
amount is its cash price to the customer?

Selling price= $1950

'(
Discount on the T.V. = 10% 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = '(( × $1950 = $195

Cash price to customer = $(1950 − 195) = $1755

Measurement

Example 1:
The scale on a road map is 1:25 000.
a) What is the distance, in metres, between two villages represented by 3.5cm?
b) What is the actual area of the playing field represented on the map by a rectangle 0.5cm
long and 0.3cm wide?

Solution
a) The actual distance between the two villages = 3.5𝑐𝑚 × 25 000 = 87 500 𝑐𝑚 =
875𝑚

b) The actual length of the field = 0.5𝑐𝑚 × 25 000 = 12 500𝑐𝑚 = 125𝑚

The actual width of the field = 0.3 × 25 000 = 7500𝑐𝑚 = 75𝑚

The actual area of the field = 125𝑚 × 75𝑚 = 9375𝑚.

c) Port-of-Spain and St. Joseph if the distance on the map is 13.4cm

Q11: The scale of sketch map of Jamaica is 1:1 000 000. Determine distance on the map
between:
a) Kingston and Montego Bay if the actual distance is 125km.
b) Kingston and Mandeville if the actual distance is 71km.
c) Kingston and Spanish Town if the actual distance is 11km.

Q12: The scale on a road map is 1:15 000.

a) What is the distance, in metres, between two villages represented by 8.5cm?
b) What is the actual area of a stadium represented on the map by a rectangle 9cm long
and 6cm wide?
NOTE:

Questions on measurement of circles would require diagrams. Didn’t include any here but keep
these formulae in mind when preparing for the exam. Know how to find the area of the sector
of a circle and the length of the arc.
