The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine the total sales made by the salesman based on the commission and bonus structure provided by the company. ### Step 1: Understand the Commission and Bonus Structure The company provides: - A commission of 9% on total sales. - A bonus of 1% on sales exceeding Rs. 10,000. ### Step 2: Define Variables Let the total sales made by the salesman be \( S \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Earnings The earnings from the commission and bonus can be calculated as follows: - The commission earned from total sales \( S \) is \( 0.09S \). - If \( S \) exceeds Rs. 10,000, the bonus will be \( 1\% \) of the amount over Rs. 10,000. This can be expressed as: \[ \text{Bonus} = 0.01(S - 10,000) \quad \text{(if } S > 10,000\text{)} \] ### Step 4: Total Earnings The total earnings of the salesman can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total Earnings} = 0.09S + 0.01(S - 10,000) \] This simplifies to: \[ \text{Total Earnings} = 0.09S + 0.01S - 100 = 0.10S - 100 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Amount Deposited According to the problem, the salesman deposited Rs. 45,100 after deducting his earnings from the total sales: \[ S - \text{Total Earnings} = 45,100 \] Substituting the expression for Total Earnings: \[ S - (0.10S - 100) = 45,100 \] This simplifies to: \[ S - 0.10S + 100 = 45,100 \] \[ 0.90S + 100 = 45,100 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( S \) Subtract 100 from both sides: \[ 0.90S = 45,000 \] Now, divide by 0.90: \[ S = \frac{45,000}{0.90} = 50,000 \] ### Conclusion The total sales made by the salesman is Rs. 50,000. ---
