A salesman earns a commission of 3% on the value of sale that he makes. If by selling a radio at 60 % of the marked prices, he earns a commission of Rs. 12, then the marked price of the radio is?

  1. 667

  2. 700

  3. 655

  4. 680


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To solve this question, let's assume the marked price of the radio is x.

According to the given information, the salesman sells the radio at 60% of the marked price. Therefore, the selling price of the radio is 0.6x.

The salesman earns a commission of 3% on the selling price. This commission is given as Rs. 12.

We can set up the equation:

0.03 * (0.6x) = 12

Simplifying the equation:

0.018x = 12

Dividing both sides by 0.018:

x = 12 / 0.018

x = 666.67

Therefore, the marked price of the radio is approximately Rs. 667.

The correct answer is option A.
