Abdi sold a radio costing3800 at a profit of 20 percent he earned a commission of 22 an a half of the profit .find the amount he earned

Answer 1

To find the total amount Abdi earned from selling the radio, we need to calculate both the profit from the sale and the commission he earned on that profit.

1. Calculate the Selling Price:

   • Cost Price (CP) = 3800
   • Profit Percentage = 20%
   • Profit = 20% of CP = \( \frac{20}{100} \times 3800 = 760 \)
   • Selling Price (SP) = CP + Profit = \( 3800 + 760 = 4560 \)

2. Calculate the Commission:

   • Commission Percentage on Profit = 22.5%
   • Commission = 22.5% of Profit = \( \frac{22.5}{100} \times 760 = 171 \)

3. Total Amount Earned:

   • Total earnings = Profit + Commission = \( 760 + 171 = 931 \)

So, the total amount Abdi earned from the sale is 931.
