Question

A salesman's commission is 6% on all sales upto rs. 15000 and 4% on all sales exceeding this amount. He remits rs. 47350 to his parent company after deducting his commission. Find the total sales. 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total sales = Rs x

Total commission = = 900 0.04 x 600 300 0.04 x.

As he submitted Rs 30000 after deducting his commission, so we have x – (300 + 0.04x) = 30000

⇒ 0.96x – 300 = 30000 ⇒ 0.96x = 30300
