Question
The price of a T.V. set is Rs 17,000. An agent charges at 3% and earns Rs. 25,500. Find the number of T.V. sets sold by him.
Solution
Price of the T.V. set = Rs.17,000
Rate of commission = 3%
∴ Commission for the T.V. set = Rs. 17000 x
`3/100 = "Rs" 510`
Total ·commission earned = Rs.25.500.
∴ Total number of T.V. sets sold = `25500/510 = 50`
∴ 50 T.V. sets were sold.
