Question
Priya gets a salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and commission at 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000. If she gets ₹ 17,400 in a certain month, find the sales made by her in that month.
Solution
Priya gets a salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000.
Let the total sales be ₹ ‘x’.
∴ Commission earned = (x - 50000)`xx 8/100`
She has earned ₹ 17,400 in a certain month.
∴ Total income = Salary per month + Commission on sale
17,400 = 15,000 + (x – 50,000) `xx 8/100`
17400 = 15000 + `(8 x - 400000)/100`
17400 = `(1500000 + 8 x - 400000)/100`
17400 × 100 = 1500000 + 8x - 400000
1740000 = 1100000 + 8x
8x = 1740000 - 1100000
8x = 640000
∴ x = 80000
∴ Priya made sales of ₹ 80000 in that month.

Mr. Pavan is paid a fixed weekly salary plus commission based on percentage of sales made by him. If on the sale of ₹68,000 and ₹73,000 in two successive weeks, he received in all ₹9880 and ₹10, 180. Complete the following activity to find his weekly salary and the rate of commission paid to him.
Solution: Income of Mr. Pavan = Weekly salary + Commission on sales
Salary + Commission on ₹68,000 = ₹9880 ... (1)
Salary+ Commission on ₹73,000 = ₹10,180 ... (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
Commission on ₹5000 = ₹ `square`
∴ the rate of commission = `square/5000 xx 100` = 6%
Commission on ₹68,000 at 6% = ₹`68000 xx6/100 = square`
From (1) and (3), we get Salary = ₹(9880 - 4080) = `square`
Hence, fixed weekly salary is ₹5800 and the rate of commission is 6%.
