Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Let x be the number of bicycle sold by the agent.

Price of one bicycle = Rs. 950

Selling Price of x bicycles =950x

100

12

×950x

=114x

Agent's Commission = Rs. 1596=114x

→ x=14

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total sales is Rs x

Given 5% commission on sale up to Rs 10000

Then 5% of sale 10000 =

100

5

×10000=500 Rs

Then other sale more than 10000=x−10000

So commission on sale more than 10000=

100

4

×(x−10000)

So total commission on sales =

100

4

×(x−10000)+500

So remit =x−[

100

4

×(x−10000)+500]

But given total remit is Rs 31100

∴x−[

100

4

×(x−10000)+500]=31100

⇒25x−x+10000−12500=31100×25

⇒24x=777500−10000+12500

⇒24x=780000

⇒x=32500 Rs

Then total sales is Rs. 32500
