Question

if the ratio of the commission of two sales person is 7:5, then which of the following can not be the value of the sum of the commission of them?
Note value of commission can only be a whole number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total sales be x.

Hence,

5% of x=1450

⇒

100

5

×x=1450

⇒x=Rs. 29000

Hence,

Excess sale =29000−20000=Rs. 9000

So, his total earning

=1% of 9000=

100

9000

=Rs.90

Answer 2

Given:  ratio of the commission of two sales person is 7:5.

TO find: sum of comission.

Solution:

Let the total sales be x.

$\[\begin{array}{l}5\% \,of\,x = 1450\\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{{100}} \times x = 1450\\ \Rightarrow x = \frac{{1450 \times 100}}{5}\\ \Rightarrow x = 29000\end{array}\]$

Find the amount of excess sales.

Excess sales is,

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 29000 - 20000\\ = 9000\end{array}\]$

Find his total earning.

His total earnings is,

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 1\% \,of\,9000\\ = \frac{1}{{100}} \times 9000\\ = Rs.\,90\end{array}\]$
