A seller is placed on the condition that he will get 6% commission on
the sales made by him, but it was later decided that he will be given
a salary of Rs 1200 per month and 3% commission on sales above
Rs 5000. If his income in the second position is Rs. 1350 less than
the first position, then find his sales every month?
(a) 80,000
(b) 70,000
(c) 90,000
(d) 60,000
Answer:
answer is (a) 80,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1 case 6 % commission on total sales, let total sale is X rupees then commission will be
(X/100) x 6 or 0.06X
case 2
salary of 1200 and a commission of 3% on sales above 5000, so if sales is X then earning will be 1200 + 0.03 ( X-5000)
now as per given condition that his income in the second position is Rs. 1350 less than the first position, it means
0.06X -1350 = 1200 + 0.03(X-5000)
0.06X -1350= 1200 + 0.03X – 150
0.06X – 0.03X = 1200-150+1350
0.03X = 2400
X= 2400/0.03 = 80,000 ans
