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

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 15000

Step-by-step explanation:

a salesman receives a salary rs 1000 per month and 10%commission on sales in excess of rs 5000.what is the amount of sales if he earns rs.2000. in a particular month ​

Let say salesman make a sale of Rs 5000 + 10S

Excess sale made over 5000 = 10S

Commision on 10S = (10/100)10S = Rs S

Earning = Salary  + Comission

=> 2000 = 1000 + S

=> S = 1000

Sale = 5000 + 10S = 5000 + 10(1000) = 15000

He made  a sale of Rs 15000
