  Question 

An agent gets a commission of 2.5% on sales of cloth. If on a certain day, he gets Rs 12.5 as the commission, what is the worth of the cloth sold on that day ??

Answer 

Given  ----

       Commission rate  =  2.5%

       Commission amount  =  Rs  12.50

        Total worth of the cloth sold  =  x  = ??

We know,

          Commission amount   =   commission rate    *     total sales

==>>       12.50  =    2.5%  *   x

==>>        12.5   =  2.5  /100    *    x

==>>        12.5  *   100   =     2.5 x

==>>         1250   =   2.5 x

==>>         x  =   12500/25

==>>         x   =     500

Total worth of cloth sold   =   500  Rs
