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

$1956$

B

$1586$

C

$1496$

D

$3900$

Solution

Total number of notebooks sold in two weeks

$=2 \times 7 \times 10=140$

Total commission earned on selling of notebooks

$=140 \times 457 \times \frac{4}{100}=₹ 2559.2$

Similarly, commission earned on selling of pencils

$=2 \times 7 \times 6 \times 80 \times \frac{20}{100} ₹ 1344$

Total commission earned $=2559.2+1344=73903.2 \approx$ $3900$
