an agent get a 5% of commission on the full sale and 3% bonus on the amount of the sale exceeding rs 10,000.
he got rs 1,500 as commission.
find the amount received by him as bonus.
:
Let a = amt of the sale
then
.05a = 1500
a = 1500/.05
a = $30,000 is the amt of the sale
:
30000 - 10000 = 20000, the exceeded amt
.03(20000) = $600 bonus
