Question

Sharadadevi sold a buffalo through an agent. It price was Rs 63,500. She had to pay a commission of 3%. How much money did Sharadadevi get for the buffalo?

Answer 1

Original price of the buffalo = Rs 63,500
Commission charged by agent = 3%
Commission = 3% of 63,500
$$\begin{gathered} =63500\times \frac{3}{100} \\ =\mathrm{Rs}1905 \end{gathered}$$

Amount received by Sharadadevi = Original price − Commission
= Rs 63,500 − Rs 1905
= Rs 61,595
