A shopkeeper sells notebooks at the rate of Rs.457 each and earns a commission of 4%. He also sells pencil boxes at the rate of Rs.80 each and earns a commission of 20%. How much amount of commission will he earn in two weeks, if he sells 10 notebooks and 6 pencil boxes a day?

A) Rs.1956
B) Rs.1586
C) Rs.1496
D) Rs.3903.20

Correct Answer:




D) Rs.3903.20

Description for Correct answer:

SP of the notebook = Rs. 457

Therefore, Commission on one notebook = Rs. \( \Large \frac{4 \times 457}{100} \)

and commission on 10 notebooks

= \( \Large \frac{10 \times 4 \times 457}{100} \) = Rs.18280

Now, SP of the pencil box = Rs.80

Therefore, Commission on 1 pencil box = Rs. \( \Large \frac{80 \times 20}{100} \)

Commission on 6 pencil boxes = \( \Large \frac{80 \times 20 \times 6}{100} \) = Rs.96

Hence, total commission of 1 day

= \( \Large \left(182.80+96\right) \) = Rs.278.80

Thus, total commission of 2 weeks

= \( \Large 278.80 \times 14 \) = Rs.3903.20
