Correct Answer: Rs. 34,000


Solution : Let the total sales be $x$.
Discount on total purchasing value = 5.5%
Bonus on sales more than 10000 = 0.5%
0.5% on $(x-10000)=\frac{0.5(x-10000)}{100}$
Given earning = 1990
According to the question:
⇒ $\frac{5.5x}{100}+\frac{0.5(x-10000)}{100}=1990$
⇒ $6x=199000+5000$
$\therefore x=34000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 34000.
