Answer 2

So the hawker's total sales are X = 580,800.

As per the question given,

Let's assume the total sales made by the hawker be X.

The first commission he received is 7% of 8,000, which is 560.

For the sales above 8,000, he received a 5% commission, which would be 5% of (X - 8,000), which is 0.05(X - 8,000).

The total commission received by him would be 560 + 0.05(X - 8,000).

The total sales after deducting the commission would be X - 560 - 0.05(X - 8,000) = 30,000.

Expanding the equation:

X - 560 - 0.05X + 400 = 30,000

-0.05X + 960 = 30,000

-0.05X = 29,040

Dividing both sides by -0.05:

X = 580,800

So, the total sales made by the hawker is X = 580,800.
