Question

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 ​

Answer 1

Amount of sales = rs 10,000.

Explanation:

He earns 2000 - 1000 = rs 1000 from sales.

This equals 10% ( = 0.10 as a fraction) of his sales so his sales must have been 1000 / 0.10

= rs 10,000.
