उत्तर

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`
