Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed salary=1500

Monthly income=2500

Income from commission=2500−1500

=1000

Given 5% of total sale equals commission he gets

⇒5% of Total sales=1000

100

5

​  

×T.S=1000

T.S=20,000

∴ His sales during that month was Rs.20,000

Answer 2

$Given \: incentive \: on \: the \: excess \\sales = 5\%$

$5\% \:of \: 20000 \\= 5\% \times 20000 \\=\frac{5}{100} \times 20000 \\= Rs \: 1000$

$Total \:sales = Rs \: 45000 \: (given )$

$Incentives \: can \: be \: 2 \times 1000 \\= Rs \:2000$

$Amount \: earned \: by \: salesman \\= Rs \:3500$

$\red{ Monthly \: Salary \: of \: salesman }\\= Rs \: 3750 - Rs \: 2000 \\= Rs \: 1750$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Monthly \: Salary \: of \: salesman }\\\green { = Rs \:1750}$
