Question

Mr. Santos, working as a salesman for a firm, gets a salary of 5000 per month plus a commission of 10% on all sales above 2000000 per month and his total gross pay last month was 21000, how much was his total sale last month?

Answer 1

Answer:

2160000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of salary he got last month on commissions =21000-5000.

=16000.

Now let x be the amount did he get from commissions.,

10% of x=16000.

x=16000/0.1

=160,000.

Total sale last month = 160000+2000000

= 2160000.
