Q:

# A salesman gets commission on total sales at 9%. If the sale is exceeded Rs.10,000 he gets an additional commission as bonus of 3% on the excess of sales over Rs.10,000. If he gets total commission of Rs.1380, then the bonus he received is:

 A) Rs.180 B) Rs.120 C) Rs.480 D) data insufficient

Explanation:

Commission up to 10000 = $\inline&space;10000\times&space;\frac{9}{100}$ = 900

Again after 10000,

Commission    :  Bonus

9         :   3

$\inline&space;\Rightarrow$                   3x        :   x

$\therefore$     Bonus = $\inline&space;(1380-900)\times&space;\frac{1}{4}=&space;Rs.120$

Q:

56% of 225 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109

Find the value of '?' in the above equation

 A) 264 B) 220 C) 241 D) None

Explanation:

Given 56% of 225 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109

we know that a% of b = b% of a

Now,

225% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109

200% of 56 + 25% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109

112 + 14 + 30 = ? - 109

? = 112 + 14 + 30 + 109

? = 264

Q:

5% of a number is 25% more than another number. The difference between the numbers is 96. Then find the value of the numbers?

 A) 102 & 6 B) 99 & 3 C) 104 & 8 D) 100 & 4

Explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y.

Given

5% of x = (25% of y) + y

=> 5x/100 = 5y/4

=> x = 25y ......(1)

and also given that, x - y = 96

=> x = 96 + y .....(2)

From (1)&(2)

25y = 96 + y

=> 24y = 96

=> y = 4

From (1)

x = 96 + 4 = 100

Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.
