Solution

Merchant gives 5% commission and 1.5% del credere commission.

Goods sold by agent = ₹ 30,600

∴ Commission earned = Rate of commission × Goods sold

= 5% × 30,600

= ₹ 1,530

Delcredere commission earned = 1.5% × 30,600

= ₹ 459

∴  Total commission earned by agent

= ₹ 1,530 + 4,59

= ₹ 1,989

∴ Amount received by Merchant

= Goods sold – Commission given

= 30,600 – 1,989

= ₹ 28,611

∴ Commission given to the agent is ₹ 1,989 and merchant will receive ₹ 28,611 after deducting commission.

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`
