The cost of an article is So. The
expense of doing business is twenty
five per cent. additional. 1t is de-
sired to make a profit of ten per
cent. What is the selling price? Also
the rule for figuring loss and profit?
STRUBLE.
You would sell your article for
$40. The cost is rated at 100 per
cent. To find profit multiply cost
price by 100 per cent. Thus 100 per
cent. plus 20 per cent. plus 10 per
cent. equals 1856 per cent. Multi
piled by 81 the answer is 1910, the
selling price. In figuring losses sub
tract the percentage of loss from 100
per cent. and work out on the same
basis as is given. Thus your article
If sold at loss of So per cent. would
sell for $1.30.

Kindly tell me the best trades for a
l. 1 =
electrician? j. C. W.
First ask yourself what you would
most like to be. Working at some
thing you like is half the secret of
success. Have you never watched a
carpenter, perhaps a plumber or an
electrician at work and thought which
of the three you would like best?
Make up your mind what you want
to be and then be it. That's the
American spirit. This is the age of
electricity. Sure, be an electrician if
you think it would be congenial work.
The pay is $3.50 and higher day for
union men.
