Rafique sold flowers worth Rs 15,000 by giving 4% commission to the agent. Find the commission he paid. Find the amount received by Rafique.

Given:

We have Commission = Commission Rate Selling Price



Hence, Rafique paid a commission of Rs 600.


Amount received by Rafique = Selling Price – Commission


∴ Amount received = 15000 – 600 = Rs 14400


Hence, the amount received by Rafique is Rs 14400.
