Solution

Ananya gets a salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000.

Let the total sales be ₹ ‘x’.

∴ Commission earned = `(x - 50,000) x 8/100`

She has earned ₹ 17,400 n certain month.

∴ Total income = Salary per month + Commission on sale

17,400 = `15,000 + (x - 50,000) xx 8/100`

17,400 = `15,000 + (8x - 4,00,000)/100`

17,400 = `(15,00,000 + 8x - 4,00,000)/100`

17,400 × 100 = 15,00,000 + 8x – 4,00,000

17,40,000 = 11,00,000 + 8x

8x = 17,40,000 – 11,00,000

8x = 6,40,000

∴ x = 80,000

∴ Ananya made sales of ₹  80,000 in that month.

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%.
