An agent sells goods worth ₹50,000 and gets a commission of 4%. Find the commission amount.
Step 1: Identify the total sales amount and the commission rate.
Total Sales = ₹50,000
Commission Rate = 4%
Step 2: Calculate the Commission Amount.
Commission Amount = Commission Rate of Total Sales
Commission Amount = 4% of ₹50,000
Commission Amount = $\frac{4}{100} \times 50000$
Commission Amount = $4 \times 500$
Commission Amount = ₹2000
Step 3: The commission amount is ₹2000.
