Question

A salesman gets a salary of Rs. 1,000 per month and a commission at the rate of 4% on sale
in excess of Rs. 2,000. If he wants to earn Rs.1,500 in a month. How much should be his sale
for that month?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount earned in sales is Rs 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the 2000 which the salesman earn 1000 is his salary which he receives.

Amount earned on commission of sales = Total amount earned- amount the                   sales man earned as his salary

                                                                  = 2000-1000

                                                                    = Rs 1000

Let the amount of sales be x.

10% of x=1000

(10×x)÷100=1000

x=10,000

The amount earned in sales is Rs 10,000
