Deepak’s salary was increased from ₹ 4,000 to ₹ 5,000. The sales being the same, due to reduction in the rate of commission from 3% to 2%, his income remained unchanged. Find his sales.

योग

उत्तर

Let the sales made by Deepak be ‘x’.

Existing Salary received is ₹ 4,000

Rate of commission is 3%

∴ Initial income of Deepak = Salary + Commission on sales

= 4000 + 3% on x

= `4000 + (3x)/100`      ...(i)

Salary was increased to ₹ 5,000 and rate of commission decreased to 2%. However, sales was still the same.

∴ New income of Deepak = Salary + Commission on sales

= 5000 + 2% on x

= `5000 + (2x)/100`     ...(ii)

It is given that the income of Deepak remained unchanged.

∴ `4000 + (3x)/100 = 5000 + (2x)/100`       .....[From (i) and (ii)]

∴ ` (3x)/100 - (2x)/100 = 5000 - 4000`

∴ `x/100 = 1000`

∴ x = 1,00,000

∴ Sales made by Deepak is ₹ 1,00,000.

Three cars were sold through an agent for ₹ 2,40,000, ₹ 2,22,000 and ₹ 2,25,000 respectively. The rates of commission were 17.5% on the first, 12.5% on the second. If the agent overall received 14% commission on the total sales, find the rate of commission paid on the third car.

Solution: Total selling Price of three cars = 2,40,000 + 2,22,000 + 2,25,000

= `square`

Commision on total sale = 14%

= `14/100 xx square`

Selling price of First car = ₹ 2,40,000

Rate of commission = 17.5% 

= `17.5/100 xx 2,40,000 = square`

∴ Commission on first car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of Second car = ₹ 2,22,000

Rate of commission = 12.5%

= `12.5/100 xx 2,22,000 = square`

∴ Commission on second car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of third car = ₹ 2,25,000

Let the rate of commission be x

Commission on third car = `x/100 xx 2,25,000`

∴ Commission on third car = Total commission − (commission on first car + commission on second car)

∴ `x/100 xx 2,25,000 = square - {square + square}`

∴ x = `square`
