commision was paid at 2%, find the selling price of the vehicle​

Answer 1

18877.55

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

you can solve this by using a simple rule of three.

Step one

define

if arjunp paid 2% commission, it means that he kept 98 percent of the sale value,it is

18500 ⇔ 98%

the selling price(x) is 100% , it means

x ⇔ 100%

the relation is

`(18500)/(98)= (x)/(100)\\`

Step two

find the value of x,

`(18500)/(98)= (x)/(100)\\x=(18500*100)/(98)\\x=18877.55`

the selling prices is 18877.55

Have a good day.
