ln a eertain department store, the monthly salary of a saleslady is parfly constant Jojo bought a second-hand Betamax VCR and then sold it to Rudy at a profit of
and partly varies as the value of her sales for the month. When the value of her 40%. Rudy then sold the VCR to Noel at a profit ol20%. lf Noel paid P 2,856
sales for the month is P 10,000.00, her salary for the month is P g00.00. When more than it cost Jojo, how much did Jojo pay for the unit?
her monthly sales go up to P 12,000.00, her monthly salary goes up to
P1,000.00. What must be the value of her sales for the month so that her salary A. P 4,100
for the month will be P 2,000.00? B. P 3,900
c. P 4,000
A. P 30,000 D. P 4,200
B. P 31,000
c. P 32,000 ' / /,/,t,,, .
D. P 33,000

Let x = amount Jojo paid for the VCR unit


,'/./,r/rz"r..
Amount Noel paid for the VCR unit = x + 2856 -+ Eq. 1 I

Let x=fixedsalary I

k = constant of proportionality of salesgirl's variable salary Amount Rudy paid for the VCR unit = x + 0.40x = 1.40x
z = sales for salesgirl to earn P2,000.00
Amount Noel paid for the VCR unit = ( .+Ox)(t .20)= 1 .68x -+ Eq. 2
x + k(10000) = 900 -+ Eq. 1
x + k(12000) = 1 000 --> Eq. 2 Equating equations 1 and2'.

Subtract Eq. 1 from Eq.2: x+2856=1.68x


0.68x = 2856

x= 4200

' 2000 .'. Jojo paid P 4,200 for the VCR unit.
Y = 0'05

Substitute the value of y in Eq. 1

The selling price of a TV set is double that of its net cost. lf the W set is sold to a
x + 0.05(1 0000) = 900 customer at a profit of 25Yo of the net cost, how much discount was given to the
x=400 customer?

To earn a salary of P 2,000.00: A. 37.5 o/o

B. 37.9 o/o

x+y(z)=2000 c. 38.2%
400+0.052=2000 D. 38.5 %
z=32000

Let x=netcost
Selling price = 2x

Profit = 0.25x
Profit = Selling price - net cost - discount
