Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- Let the Total Income be X.
20,000 is spend for advertising.
"half of the remainder on commissions"->So, it is expressed as
((X-20000)/2)
6000 remain.
So algebrically,
X=20000 +((X-20000)/2)) + 6000
X-X/2 = 20000-10000+60000
X=32000 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(81) No(4)
- x is total income
x=20,000+x/2+6000
x-x/2=26,000
x=32,000 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(43)
- Very Easy
6000 rs is half then half of double is 1 is 12000
then add 20,000+12000=32000 ans

- Total income =x
Advertise=20,000
Remain=x-20,000
commission=(x-20,000)/2
total income=20,000+(x-20,000)/2+6000
x=20,000+x/2-10,000+6000
x-x/2=16,000
x/2=16,000
x=32000 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 20,000 is spend for advertisement
"half of the remainder on commissions"
and had 6000 left
so
6000+6000=12000
20000+12000=32000
Ans 32000

- 36000
20000+10000+6000=36000 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- let the total income of the company be X,
They spent Rs.20,000 on Advertisement and Half on Commissions and has Rs.6000 left,
then,
X = 20000 + ((X-20000)/2) +6000
which gives Rs.32,000
Alternate Method,
____________________
They spent Rs.20000 on Ad.
They had Rs.6000 left.
They said that, half of remaining spent in commissions
so half means 12000/2 which they have Rs.6000 left, thus they spent Rs.6000 on commissions
So, totally X = 20000+6000+6000
thus X=32,000 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
