Question

a shop was sold for rs 3000000 by an agent who received a commission of 2.5how much commission did he receive

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ,

Let the cloth sold by the agent = x

Comission of sales of cloth = g = 2.5%

Commission = Rs 12.50

According to the problem,

2.5 % of x = Rs 12.50

( 2.5 ) / 100 × x = 12.50 [ since % = 1 / 100 ]

x = ( 12.50 × 100 ) / ( 2.5 )

x = 1250 / ( 2.5 )

After cancellation we get,

x = 500

Option ( B ) is correct.

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given: Price = 3000000

           Commission = 2.5%

To find: How much commission did he receive

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of shop cost for selling = 3,000,000

Commission received by an agent = g = 2.5%

So, after getting 2.5% commission from the amount for which the shop was sold, we will find the amount which the agent received.

For this we will multiply the given amount with the commission percentage that 2.5%

=> 2.5 % of 3000000

=> 2.5/ 100 * 3000000

= 75000

So, the amount of commission the agent received is 75000.

Hence, the correct answer is 75000.
