A company gives 17% commission to his salesman upto the sales of ₹12,000/- and a commission of 22% on the sale over ₹12,000/-. If the salesman deposited ₹47,400/- in the account of sale of the company after deducting his commission, then find the total sale (in ₹).

73,377

Let the total sales = x

commission of salesman = x × 17 % + (x - 12,000 ) × 22 %

x - ( \(\frac{17x}{100}\) + \(\frac{22x}{100}\) - 2640 ) = 47,400

\(\frac{61x}{100}\) = 44760

⇒ x = 7337
