Solution
Let the sales made by Deepak be ‘x’.
Existing Salary received is ₹ 4,000
Rate of commission is 3%
∴ Initial income of Deepak = Salary + Commission on sales
= 4000 + 3% on x
= `4000 + (3x)/100` ...(i)
Salary was increased to ₹ 5,000 and rate of commission decreased to 2%. However, sales was still the same.
∴ New income of Deepak = Salary + Commission on sales
= 5000 + 2% on x
= `5000 + (2x)/100` ...(ii)
It is given that the income of Deepak remained unchanged.
∴ `4000 + (3x)/100 = 5000 + (2x)/100` .....[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ ` (3x)/100 - (2x)/100 = 5000 - 4000`
∴ `x/100 = 1000`
∴ x = 1,00,000
∴ Sales made by Deepak is ₹ 1,00,000.
