Salary  Commission on ` 68,000  ` 9880 ... (1)
Salary  Commission on ` 73,000  ` 10,180 ... (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
Commission on ` 5000  ` 300

Commission on ` 68,000 at 6%  ` 68000   ` 4080 ... (3)
100
From (1) and (3), we get
Salary  ` (9880  4080)  ` 5800
Hence, fixed weekly salary is ` 5800 and the rate of commission is 6%.

(ii) Here n  9. We transform year t to u by taking u  t  1979.

We construct the following table for calculation :
Number of
Year t u  t  1979 u2 uxt

The equation of trend line is xt  a  bu.

The normal equations are
xt  na  b u ... (1)
uxt  a u  b u2 ... (2)
Here, n  9, xt  47, u  0, u2  60, uxt  40
Putting these values in normal equations, we get
47  9a  b (0) ... (3)
40  a (0)  b (60) ... (4)
47
From equation (3), we get a   5.2222
9
40
From equation (4), we get b   0.6667
60
Putting a  5.2222 and b  0.6667 in xt  a  bu, we get
the equation of trend line is xt  5.2222  0.6667u ,
where u  (t  1979).
