उत्तर
Income of Pavan = Salary + Commission on sales
∴ For first week, his income is,
9880 = Salary + Commission on 68000 ...(i)
∴ For second week his income is,
10180 = Salary + commision on 73000 ....(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get,
Salary + Commission on 73,000 = 10,180
(–) Salary + Commission on 68,000 = 9,880
(-) (-) (-)
Commission on 5,000 = 300
∴ On sales of ₹ 5,000, commission is ₹ 300
Commission = Sales × Rate of commission
∴ 300 = 5,000 × Rate of commission
∴ Rate of commission = `300/5000 xx 100` = 6%
∴ Commission on sales of ₹ 68,000 at the rate of 6% `= 68,000 xx 6/100` = ₹ 4080
∴ Substituting ₹ 4,080 in equation (i),
Salary + Commission on 68,000 = 9,880
Salary + 4,080 = 9,880
∴ Salary = 9,880 – 4,080 = ₹ 5,800
∴ Weekly salary of Pavan is ₹ 5,800 and rate of commission is 6%.

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%.
