Question
Anita is allowed 6.5% commission on the total sales made by her, plus a bonus of `1/2`% on the sale over ₹ 20,000. If her total commission amounts to ₹ 3,400, find the sales made by her.
Solution
Let total sales made by Anita be ‘x’.
Rate of commission on total sales is 6.5%.
Commission earned = Total sales × Rate of commission
`= "x" xx 6.5/100 = (6.5 "x")/100`
Sales above ₹ 20,000 = (x – 20,000)
On sales above ₹ 20,000, she gets `1/2`% bonus.
∴ Commission earned = `("x" - 20000) xx 0.5/100`
`= (0.5"x" -10000)/100`
Total commission earned is ₹ 3,400.
Total commission = Commission on total sales + Bonus on sales
∴ `3400 = (6.5"x")/100 + (0.5"x" - 10000)/100`
∴ `3400 = (6.5"x" + 0.5"x" - 10000)/100`
∴ 340000 = 7x - 10000
∴ 340000 + 10000 = 7x
∴ 350000 = 7x
∴ x = 50000
∴ Total sales made by Anita is ₹ 50,000.

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`
