Profit and Loss - Calculating the Selling Price

Example 1: Calculating the selling price (S.P) when there is a LOSS

To calculate the selling price when there is a loss, you must subtract.

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss 

(e.g) Calculate the selling price of an item when the cost price is $50 and the loss is $8. 

            S.P = C.P - Loss

                       $50  - $8 = $42

Example 2: Calculating the selling price (S.P) when there is a PROFIT

To calculate the selling price when there is a profit, you must add. 

                Selling Price = Cost Price + PROFIT

e.g) Calculate the selling price of an item when the cost price is $80 and the profit is $5. 

            S.P = C.P + Profit

                       $80 + $5 = $85

Reading Practice

Practise reading the passage below aloud. Answer the questions which follow. Please pay attention to your sentence structure.

The earth is losing its forests. Presently, trees cover about 30 percent of the earth's surface, but they are being destroyed at an alarming rate, especially in the tropics. Timber harvesting is a major reason for the destruction of forests. Trees are used for building houses, making furniture, and providing pulp for paper products, such as newspapers and magazines. 

Another way that man is destroying the world's forests is by burning them down. In the Amazon, for example, rainforests are being burnt down at a rate of 20 acres a minute. The main reason for this is to clear the land for farming. Farmers in rainforest countries are often poor and cannot afford to buy land. Instead, these farmers clear rainforest land to raise their animals or grow their crops. Since tropical rainforest soil is so poor in nutrients, farmers cannot reuse the same land year after year. In the following years, farmers just clear more land, destroying the forest piece by piece. Already more than 30 tropical countries have reached a critical level of forest destruction and exporters of timber such as Nigeria and Thailand now have to import timber. 

Should we be worried about the loss of the forests? Yes, we should. Healthy trees are a vital part of the environment, and keep the entire balance of the atmosphere agreeable to all life forms. Forests are catchment areas for rainwater, holding the rainwater in the leaves of the trees, so that it will not sink so quickly into the earth's crust. Furthermore, the forests help maintain the water cycles in the area. The masses of clouds that provide the rain are formed over the moist forests. Thus, the destruction of forests may also lead to a reduction in rainfall over the area, resulting in drought.

1. How much of the Earth's surface is covered by forests?

2. What is the main reason why forests are being destroyed?

3. Give a word that can be used to replace 'making' in paragraph 1. 

4. Why do farmers in some countries clear rainforest land?

5. Give a word to replace 'critical' in paragraph 2. 

6. Why are farmers not able to reuse the same land year after year?

7. In paragraph 3, what will be the effect of the destruction of the rainforests?
