Question

An agent charges 12% commission on the sales. What does he earn if the total sale amounts to ₹ 48,000? What does the seller get?

Sum

Solution

Agent earns commission at 12% on the sales.

∴ Commission to agent = Sales × Rate of commission

`= 48000 xx 12/100`

= ₹ 5760

Net amount received by seller
= Sales – Commission
= 48,000 – 5,760
= ₹ 42,240

∴ Salesman earns ₹ 5,760 as commission and amount received by seller is ₹ 42240.

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`
