[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]What does Rs. 2,000 indicate? Whether it is a figure of profit on which manager's commission has to be charged or you wanted to say: commission will be charged only if profit is more than Rs.2,000?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Again ambiguous. Can you make it clearer? What does Rs.3,320 figure indicate? Whether Rs.3,320 is a sum of Manager's commission and General manager's commission? Or Rs.3,320 stands for anything else?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I have asked you these questions because of grave importance of "words", "punctuations" in such word problems of accounting & finance. Each word / each punctuation has different meaning and resultantly different outputs.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I am answering according to my understanding!

In 1st situation manager is entitled for commission @ 10% but after charging such commision profit will be 2000. Therefore, 2000 is 90% of total,so divide 2000 by 90% you have the actual figure before commission.i.e; 2222 so 10%of 2222is 222. therefore 222 is the amount of commission.

2nd method u can addopt is to divide 10 by 90 and multiply with 2000, then u will get the answer.

Ur second question is wrong or something is missing, what is 3320. Is it profit or any other value?
