Question: After deducting a commission of 5%, A TV costs Tk. 15,200. Its gross value (in Taka) is:

Solution:
Let the gross value of the TV be x Taka.
After deducting 5% commission, the remaining value is 95% of x.
Given that, the cost after deduction is 15,200 Taka.

So, 95% of x = 15,200
⇒ (95/100) × x = 15,200
⇒ x = (15,200 × 100)/95
⇒ x = 160 × 100
∴ x = 16,000

∴ The gross value of the TV is 16,000 Taka
