Options

A. ₹ 320
B. ₹ 420
C. ₹ 120
D. ₹ 270

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these calculations:

### Step 1: Calculate the total commission
The total commission is calculated as 15% of the sale amount of ₹2,800.

\[ \text{Total Commission} = \frac{15}{100} \times 2800 \]

### Step 2: Simplify the calculation
To simplify, we can first calculate 15% of ₹2,800:

\[ \text{Total Commission} = 0.15 \times 2800 \]

### Step 3: Perform the multiplication
Now, we can perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Total Commission} = 420 \]

### Step 4: Subtract the advance received
The sales representative has already received an advance of ₹150. To find the remaining commission, we need to subtract this advance from the total commission:

\[ \text{Remaining Commission} = \text{Total Commission} - \text{Advance} \]

\[ \text{Remaining Commission} = 420 - 150 \]

### Step 5: Calculate the remaining commission
Now, we perform the subtraction:

\[ \text{Remaining Commission} = 270 \]

### Final Answer
The remaining amount of commission that the sales representative will receive is ₹270.
