SECTION II.

THE CALCULATION OF PRICES.

1. Mental or Very Brief Rules.-Applicable to Articles, Weights and Measures.

as 8.

1°. Given the price of one.

(1) to find price of a dozen-consider price in d.

(2) to find price of a score-consider price in s. as £. (3) to find price of 48—consider price in f. as s. (4) to find price of 96-consider price in eighths of a penny as s.

(5) to find price of a gross multiply price in f. as s. by 3 or price in d. as s. by 12 or consider price. in d. as s. and this again in d. as s.

(6) to find price of 192-consider price in sixteenths of a penny as s.

(7) to find price of 240-consider price in d. as £. (8) to find price of 960-consider price in f. as £. (9) to find price of 1920-consider price in eighths of a penny as £.

(10) to find price of 3840—consider price in sixteenths of a penny as £.

(11) to find price of any power of 10-decimalise the price into £ and move the point to the right as many places as there are O's in the number.

(12) to find price of any multiple of any of the preceding numbers (including powers of 10)-multiply price changed according to the corresponding rule by the multiple.

(13) to find price of any factor of any of the preceding numbers (including powers of 10)-take the corresponding aliquot of the price changed according to the proper rule.

(14) to find price of any number-find price of nearest multiple of dozens, score, gross, or other of above numbers and add or subtract price of remainder. Examples. 1. 240 articles at 1s. 11d.=£13. 5s. Od.

3.

1000 articles at 2s. 54d.= £121.875=£121.178. 6d.

[blocks in formation]

6.

1120 articles at 1s. 2 d. =13 × £59= £68. 16s. 8d.

[blocks in formation]

Note 1. Variations on the above rules are easily made when prices are quoted by the dozen, score, gross, thousand etc.

Note 2. Which of the above rules is to be used depends on the character of the number or the price.

Note 3. All the above numbers are very useful in the application of Rules (12), (13) and (14).

2o. Conversely. To find the price of one.

(1) given price of a dozen-consider price in s. as d. (2) given price of a score-consider price in £ as s. (3) given price of 48—consider price in s. as f.

(4) given price of 96-consider price in s. as eighths of a penny.

(5) given price of a gross-divide price in s. as d.

MENTAL RULES.

29

(6) given price of 192-consider price in s. as sixteenths of a penny.

(7) given price of 240-consider price in £ as d.

(8) given price of 960-consider price in £ as f. (9) given price of 1920-consider price in £ as eighths of a penny.

(10) given price of 3840-consider price in £ as sixteenths of a penny.

(11) given price of any power of 10—reduce price to pence and mark off as many places as there are O's in the number.

(12) given price of any multiple of the preceding numbers divide the price changed according to the proper rule by the multiple.

(13) given price of any factor of the preceding numbers multiply the price changed according to the proper rule by the aliquot denominator corresponding to the factor.

(14) given price of any number-split number into factors and divide the price successively using decimals when advantageous.
