Question

A businessman gives commission to his agent 4% up to sale of Rs 1,00,000 and 5.5% above it. If businessman has given Rs 5,925 as commission to his agent, then find the sale made by agent​

Answer 1

solution;

Let his total sales be x

His commission would be

= 5% of 10000 + 4% of (x-10000)

= 500 + 4x/100 - 400

= 100 + 4x/100

= 100 + x/25

The amount he pays to company

= x- (x/25 + 100)

= x - x/25 - 100

= 24x/25 - 100 = 31100

24x/25 = 31200

x = (31200 * 25) / 24 = 32500

total sales = 32500
