Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question,

We have been given that

By paying 2% brokerage for buying an old scooter for Rs.15,000 through a broker.

We need to find the amount at which scooter is bought.

Total amount of brokerage given = $\frac{2}{100}\times Total\ amount$

Total amount of brokerage given = $\frac{2}{100}\times 15000$

Total amount of brokerage given = 150 × 2

Total amount of brokerage given = Rs.300

Therefore, Amount at which Scooter is bought = 15000 - 300

Amount at which scooter is bought = 14700

Hence Scooter is bought at Rs.14700
