Question
Kishore earns a weekly salary of Rs 925 and a 5% commission on his total sales. Neeraj earns a weekly salary of Rs. 1250 and a 3% commission on sales. What amount of sales will result in them earning the same amount for the week?
Hint:
○ Form the equation according to given information..
○ Take variable values as x or any alphabet.
○ Solve the equation to get value of x.
○ Percentage x of y is given by
y
The correct answer is: ⇒ x = 16250
○ Given:
Kishore earns a weekly salary of Rs 925 and a 5% commission on sales.
Neeraj earns a weekly salary of Rs. 1250 and a 3% commission on sales.
○ Step 1:
○ Let the total sale be Rs. x.
∴ Kishore earning will be equal to,
weekly salary + 5% commission on total sale
925 + 5% of x
925 + 
x
925 + 0.05x
Neeraj earning will be equal to,
weekly salary + 3% commission on total sale
1250 + 3% of x
1250 + 
x
1250 + 0.03x
○ Step 2:
○ Equate the salary of Kishore and Neeraj.
925 + 0.05x = 1250 + 0.03x
0.05x - 0.03x = 1250 - 925
0.02x = 325
x = 
x = 16250
- Final Answer:
Hence, Rs. 16250 amount of sales results in same earning of both at end of the week.
