The rule for arriving at the value of the prices producing equal sale-proceeds when the price of the remnant in fractional in character:- .
107). When the romant price is fractional in character, the selling and the buying rates are to be derived as before with the data consisting of) the invested capitals and the remnant-price reduced to the same denominator, which is however) ignored (for the time being); these selling and buying rates are (thou nie spectively) to be multiplied by this denominator in the synaro of (this) denominator (for arriving at the required selling and buy. ing rates). The value of the cyual sale-proceeded in the obtained) by means of the rule-of-threo.
An ermmple in illustration thereof.
104. (In a transaction) !. are the capital amount (investei respectively by three porod); the romant-price is 3. By purhaning and selling at the same prices, they becamo possessed of cynnal sale-proceeds. What is the buying price what the selling price, and what the equal malo-mount!)
Again, another rule for arriving at the value of the equal wale. proceerle, when the remnant-price is frational: -
1094. l'ho continued product of the highest numerator, of turo, and of (all) the denominator (to be found in the value of the capital amounts invested, when combined with the last) denominator belonging to the value of the romant-price, gives rise to the selling rate. This multiplied by the remnant-price, and then diminished by one, and then multiplied (HUICively) lay two and all the denominators, becomes the purchasing rate. Then the rule-of-thrre (is to be used for arriving at the common value of the sale-amounts).
An crampla in illuxtration thereof.
1103. Having invested ļ, , $ (respectively), and having bought and sold (the same commodity), and with as the remnant price, three merchants became pos8olgors of equal sale-firoccods
