Question
Ananya gets salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and commission at 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000. If she gets ₹ 17,400 in a certain month, Find the sales made by her in that month
Solution
Ananya gets a salary of ₹ 15,000 per month and 8% on the sales over ₹ 50,000.
Let the total sales be ₹ ‘x’.
∴ Commission earned = `(x - 50,000) x 8/100`
She has earned ₹ 17,400 n certain month.
∴ Total income = Salary per month + Commission on sale
17,400 = `15,000 + (x - 50,000) xx 8/100`
17,400 = `15,000 + (8x - 4,00,000)/100`
17,400 = `(15,00,000 + 8x - 4,00,000)/100`
17,400 × 100 = 15,00,000 + 8x – 4,00,000
17,40,000 = 11,00,000 + 8x
8x = 17,40,000 – 11,00,000
8x = 6,40,000
∴ x = 80,000
∴ Ananya made sales of ₹ 80,000 in that month.
