Answer 2

Answer:

27688.88

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

An encyclopedia dealer gets a commission of 8% on all sales up to Rs. 4000.

Additionally 2% for all sales above Rs. 4,000.

The amount after deducting the commission is Rs. 25000.

Let total sales = x

An encyclopedia Commission

$= 4,000 X \frac{8}{100} + (x-4000)X\frac{10}{100}\\\\= 320 + \frac{(x-4000)}{10} \\\\= \frac{(x-800)}{10}$

Now,

Total sales =  total sales amount after deducting the commission + commission

$x = 25000 + \frac{(x-800)}{10}\\\\x = \frac{(250000 + x-800)}{10}\\\\10x = x + 249200\\\\\\9x = 249200\\\\x = 27688.88$
