Question

a salesman earns 25% commission he sells amount to 2450 shillings after giving a buyers 2% discount . calculate his commission. Suppose all the goods were sold at marked price , what would be is earnings?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A) Commission = 2450 shillings * 25 % = 2450 shillings * (25/100) = 2450 shillings * (0.25) = 612.50 shillings

Commission = 612.50 shillings

B) If the total sale is 2,450.00 shillings, after the seller gives buyers a 2% discount. We must re-enter the discount:

2,450.00 shillings = X - X * 2% = X - 0.02 X --->

------> 0.98 X = 2,450.00 shillings

------>X= 2,450.00 / 0.98

------> X = 2,500.00 shillings

NEW COMMISSION = 2,500.00 shillings * 25 % = 2,500.00 shillings *(25/100) =2,500.00 shillings * (0.25) = 625 shillings

NEW COMMISSION = 625 shillings
