Question

The rent of flats in a colony is ₹9000. A broker gets a commission of 9% on the rent. The number of flats rented for a month is 16. what is the total commission earned by the broker?

• A. Rs. 9900
• B. Rs. 12960
• C. Rs. 13900
• D. Rs. 12660

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs. 12960

Rate of commission = 9%
Rent of each flat = ₹9000
Commission earned on each flat = $9$%$of9000=\frac{9}{100}\times 9000=₹810$
So, total commission earned by broker = $16\times 810=₹12960$
