Question

A salesman is appointed on a fixed monthly salary of Rs. $1,500$/- together with a commission at $5$% on the sales over Rs. $10,000$/- during a month. If his monthly income is Rs. $2,050$/-, find his sales during that month.

• A. Rs. $22,000$
• B. Rs. $20,000$
• C. Rs. $23,000$
• D. Rs. $21,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $21,000$

$\Rightarrow$ Commission at $5\%$ on the sales over Rs. $10,000$

$\Rightarrow$ Monthly income - monthly salary.= Rs.$2050-$Rs.$1500=$Rs.$550.$

$\Rightarrow$ The sales over Rs.$10,000=550\times \frac{100}{5}=$Rs.$11000.$

$\Rightarrow$ Total sales during the month = Rs.$10,000+$Rs.$11,000=$Rs.$21,000$
