Question

After deducting a commission of 5%, a moped costs 15200. What is its gross value?

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 16000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gross value of the moped is ₹ x. Commission on the moped = 5%

The price of moped after deducting the commission = ₹ (x – 5% of x)

= ₹ (x – [(5/100) × (x)])

= ₹ (x – (5x/100))

= ₹ (100x – 5x)/100

= ₹ (95x/100)

Cost of moped after deducting the commission

= ₹ 15200

Then, = (95x/100) = 15200

= x = (15200 × 100)/ 95 =

x = (160 × 100)

= x = 16000

∴the gross value of the moped is ₹ 16000
