A salesman makes a profit of 25% on all sales.How many fax machines will he have to sell for $375 each to make a total commission of at least $500?
a. 4
b. 5
c. 6
d. 15
e. 20

• profit%=25%of 375=93.75
  to earn profit of AT LEAST 500 he will sell 500/93.75=5.33
  Thus 6 is correct

• sp=375
  cp=100/125*375=300,profit=375-300=75
  no. of fax mac. req=500/75=6.666
  so approximate ans is 6

• 100%=375
  50%=187.5
  25%=93.75
  total commision/sp
  =500/93.75
  =5.33
  =6

  375 will consist of profit also... thus if he makes 25% profit means that profit is 125. lets suppose no. of items sold =x, then 375x=? + 125x. so 125x=commission of salesman. so, 125x=500. thus, x=4

• Ans-b
  We can't take approximate here i.e 5.33=5 is the correct answer.
  he got 375/4 while selling------1 piece
  he got 500 while selling---------4*500/375=5.33~5(Ans)

• so after finding the %p for 1 machine is 75, so to make this for at least 500 $ .if we multiply 75*6 we get 450$ but we need for 500$ , so the next value is 15

• Assume numbers of fax machine is x, then total sell price is 375x.The profit is calculated on sellprice, so we can write
  375*x*(25/100) =500
  Calculate thr value of x.
