Answer:
Rs 12,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sales be Rs a
Now commission is 5% of a = 5 a /100 = a / 20
Again commission = Rs 1000 + 2.5% of (a – 4000)
= 1000 + a – 4000 /40
We have according to question,
a/20 + 600 = 1000 + a – 4000 / 40
a / 20 – a – 4000/40 = 1000 – 600
2 a – a + 4000/40 = 400
a + 4000 = 16000
a = 16000 – 4000
a = Rs 12,000
