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 ₹).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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
