A salesman received 12% commission on the total sales made by him and a bonus of 1% on the sales over ₹ 15000/-. If the total earning of the salesman is ₹7650/-, then find the amount of total sales (in ₹).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let total sale is Rs.X
ATQ,
(X × 12%) + (X - 15000) × 1% = 7650
(X × 12%) + (X) × 1% - 15000 × 1% = 7650
(X × 13%) - 150 = 7650
(X × 13%) = 7650 + 150 = 7800
(X × 1%) = 600
(X × 100%) = 60000
