Question

A salesman commissions is 5% on all sales upto rupees 10000 and 4% of all sales exceeding this amount he remite31100 the parent company after deduction his commission his sales were worth

Answer 1

Let his total sales be x

His commission would be

= 5% of 10000 + 4% of (x-10000)

= 500 + 4x/100 - 400

= 100 + 4x/100

= 100 + x/25

The amount he pays to company

= x- (x/25 + 100)

= x - x/25 - 100

= 24x/25 - 100 = 31100

24x/25 = 31200

x = (31200 * 25) / 24 = 32500

total sales = 32500

or

Answer:

32,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his total sales be Rs. x . Now,(total sales)-(commission)=₹31,100

x-[5% of 10,000+4% of (x-10,000)]=31,100

=x-[5/100×10,000+4/100(x-10000)]=31,100

x-500-(x-10000)/25=31,100

x-x/25=31200

24x/25=31200

x=[31200×25/24]=32500

total sales=₹32,500
