Solution
Given, commission received = 50,000
Also, commission percentage = 4%
Need to find out the price of the property
Let the price of the property = Rs. x
⇒ Now, x% of `n = x/100 xx n`
⇒ `4/100 xx x = 50000`
⇒ `x = (50000 xx 100)/4`
⇒ x = 50000 × 25 = Rs. 1250000
Hence, the selling price of the property is Rs. 1250000
