A salesman's commission is 5% on all sales up to Rs. 10,000 and 4% on all sales exceeding this. He remits Rs. 31,100 to his parent company after deducting his commission. Find the total sales.
ARs. 32,500
BRs. 35,000
CRs. 34,000
DRs. 36,000
✓ Correct Answer: A — Rs. 32,500
Commission on 10k = 500. For x > 10k: 10000-500 + (x-10000)*0.96 = 31100. 9500 + 0.96x - 9600 = 31100. 0.96x = 31200. x = 32500.
