Worked Out Examples

Example 1: A company makes a profit of Rs 2,00,00,000 in a certain fiscal year. The
management decided to distribute 6% of profit as bonus equally among
20 employees. Find the bonus amount that each employee will receive.
Solution: Here,
Number of employees = 20
Profit = Rs 2,00,00,000
Bonus = 6% of profit
6
= 100 × 2,00,00,000 = Rs 12,00,000

(12,00,000)
 Bonus amount that each employee receive = 20 = Rs 60,000

Hence, each employee will receive Rs 60,000 as bonus.

Example 2: A company made a profit of Rs. 85,00,00,000. The bonus is distributed
equally among 170 employees and each received Rs. 4,00,000. Find the
bonus rate.
Solution: Here,
Profit = Rs. 85,00,00,000
Number of employees = 170
Bonus received by each employee = Rs. 4,00,000
Thus,
Total bonus distributed = 170 × Rs. 4,00,000 = Rs. 6,80,00,000
Now,
Bonus = x % of 85,00,00,000
x
or, 6,80,00,000 = 100 × 85,00,00,000

 x = 8%
Hence, the bonus rate is 8%.
