A sales agent earns 3% commission on laptops priced at ₹40,000 each and 8% commission on printers priced at ₹8,000 each. If in a week he sells 4 laptops and 10 printers, what is his total commission for 5 such weeks?
- ₹ 52,000
- ₹ 50,400
- ₹ 56,000
- ₹ 51,200
Correct answer: ₹ 56,000
Solution
Commission per laptop is 3% of ₹40,000 = ₹1,200, so 4 laptops give ₹4,800. Commission per printer is 8% of ₹8,000 = ₹640, so 10 printers give ₹6,400; weekly total = ₹11,200. For 5 weeks, total commission = ₹11,200 × 5 = ₹56,000.
