The commission received by distributor is Rs 700 and he made a profit of Rs 14 thousands on selling theToffees . What is value 'Y' ?

Answer»

`9(9)/(13) %`
`7 (9)/(13)%`
`5 (9)/(13)%`
`8(9)/(13)%`

Solution :Given, Commission received by the DISTRIBUTOR =Rs. 700
So, the number of Toffees sold by distributor `=(700)/(100)xx50=350`
Total number of Toffees received by him in the whole stock to sell`=350+40=390`
Production cost of ecah Toffee`=(78000)/(390)=Rs. 200`
Marked price of each Toffee `=200xx1.3=Rs. 260`
Total selling price of 350 Toffees
`=350xx200+14000=Rs. 84000`
Selling price of each Toffee`=(84000)/(350)=Rs. 240`
Discount allow by employee (y)
`=(260-240)/(260)xx100=(20)/(260)xx100=7 (9)/(13)%`
`Y=7 (9)/(13)%`
