Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Number of P printers sold = $P$

Number of Q printers sold = $Q$
Commission for each P printer sold = $Rs.25$
Commission for each Q Printer sold = $Rs.20$
Given that $\frac { P }{ Q } =\frac { 3 }{ 5 } $
so we can assume that $P = 3x, Q=5x$
Total printers sold $= P+Q = 120$
$\Rightarrow 8x= 120 , x=15$
Total money earned $= (25)(3)(15) + (20)(5)(15) = 1125+1500 = 2625$

  1. $\dfrac {91}{6} \%$
  2. $14\%$
  3. $\dfrac {40}{3} \%$
  4. $\dfrac {50}{3} \%$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP $= 100$ and Marked Price be $x$
SP $= 100 + 20\%$ of $100=100+\dfrac{20}{100}\times 100 = 120$
$10\%$ commission was given on SP.
$\Rightarrow$ SP $= x - 10\%$ of $x$
$\Rightarrow 120 = x - \dfrac{10x}{100}$
$\Rightarrow 120 = \dfrac{9x}{10}$
$\Rightarrow 9x = 1200$
$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{1200}{9} =$ Rs. $133.33$
MP $= 133.33$
If $15\%$ commission was given, then
$\Rightarrow$ SP $= 133.33 - 15\% of 133.33=133.33+\dfrac{15}{100}\times 133.33$
$\Rightarrow$ SP $= 133.33 - 20$
$\Rightarrow$ SP $= 113.33$
Gain $ = 113.33 - 100=13.33$
$\%$ gain  $=\dfrac{13.33}{100}\times 100= 13.33 \%$

  2. $20$
  3. $15$
  4. $\dfrac {40}{3}$

  5. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Let MP $= 100$
SP after giving $10$ $\%$ commission $= 100 - 10$ $\%$ of $100 = 90$.
Let CP $= x$
Gain $ = 20$ $\%$
Now, $+x + 20$ $\%$ of $x = 90$
$\dfrac {120 x }{100} = 90$
$x= 75$
CP $= 75$
If $15$ $\%$ commission was given, then SP $= 85$
Gain $= 85 - 75 = 10$
Percent gain  $= \dfrac {(10 \times 100)}{75} = \dfrac {40}{3} = 13.33$ $\%$.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given that Remo works in jewelry store he earns a base pay of $\$10$ per hours plus a certain percent commission on sale and Remo worked an average of $35$ hours in week.

Then Ramo total base pay for two weeks $=$ $35\times 2\times 10=700$ dollars.
But Remo earning for two weeks were $\$850$ including percent  commission of sale $\$5000$.
So, percent  commission of sale $\$5000=850-700=150$ dollar
Then percent on sale $=$ $\dfrac{150}{5000}\times 100=3$ $\%$

A salesman is appointed on a fixed monthly salary of Rs. $1,500$/- together with a commission at $5$% on the sales over Rs. $10,000$/- during a month. If his monthly income is Rs. $2,050$/-, find his sales during that month.

  2. Rs. $20,000$
  3. Rs. $23,000$
  4. Rs. $21,000$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$\Rightarrow$   Commission at $5\%$ on the sales over Rs. $10,000$ 

$\Rightarrow$ Monthly income - monthly salary.= Rs.$2050-$Rs.$1500=$Rs.$550.$
$\Rightarrow$  The sales over Rs.$10,000=550\times \dfrac{100}{5}=$Rs.$11000.$

$\Rightarrow$  Total sales during the month = Rs.$10,000+$Rs.$11,000=$Rs.$21,000$
