Question

A dealer sold 24 rolls of cloth, each worth Rs 1350. What commission did he get at the rate of 10%.

Answer 1

Number of rolls of cloth = 24
Price of each roll of cloth = Rs 1350
Commission charged by dealer = 10%
Commission on each cloth = 10% of 1350
$$\begin{gathered} =1350\times \frac{10}{100} \\ =\mathrm{Rs}135 \end{gathered}$$

Total commission on 24 rolls = 135 × 24 = 3240
∴ Commission of the dealer on 24 rolls is Rs 3240.
