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.

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%.
