A salesman allowed 16% commission on the total sales made by him and a bonus of 3% on the sales over ₹18500/-. If the total earning of the salesman is ₹15,595/-, then find the amount of total sales (in ₹).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
x × \(\frac{16}{100}\) + (x - 18500 ) × \(\frac{3}{100}\) = 15595
\(\frac{19 x}{100}\) - 555 = 15595
x = 85000
