Solution
Agent earns commission at `7 1/2`% i.e. 7.5% on first ₹ 50,000 sales and on balance, at 5%.
Let total sales be ‘x’.
Commission earned on first ₹ 50,000 at 7.5%
`= 7.5/100 xx 50,000`
= ₹ 3,750
Commission earned on balance at 5%
`= (x - 50,000) xx 5/100`
Total commission earned
= Total sales – Amount remitted
= x – 93,750
∴ `(x - 93,750) = 3,750 + 5/100 xx (x - 50,000)`
∴ `(x - 93,750) xx 100 = 3,750 xx 100 + 5(x - 50,000)`
∴ 100x – 93,75,000 = 3,75,000 + 5x – 2,50,000
∴ 100x – 5x = 1,25,000 + 93,75,000
∴ 95x = 95,00,000
∴ x = `(95,00,000)/95`
∴ x = 1,00,000
∴ The value of goods sold by the agent is
₹ 1,00,000.

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%.
