Question

A shopkeeper sells Marker at the rate of Rs.35 each and earns a commission of 10%. He also sells Gel pen at the rate of Rs. 65 each and earns a commission of 20%. How much amount (in rupees) of commission will he earn in 2 weeks, if he sells 12 markers and 8 Gel pens a day?

Answer 1

Let the Cost price of marker be $M$ Rs

And the cost price of Gel pen be $G$ Rs

According to question $\frac{11}{10}M=35$ Rs and $\frac{6}{5}G=65$ Rs

Profit earned on one marker = $\frac{1}{10}M=\frac{35}{11}$ Rs

Profit earned on one Gel pen = $\frac{1}{10}M=$ $\frac{65}{6}$ Rs

Total markers sold in two weeks = $168$

Total Gel pens Sold in two weeks = $112$

Total profit earned = $\frac{5880}{11}+$ $\frac{3640}{3}$
