@ankit042 so it will be 800-.1r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait 800+.1r

OpenStudy (ankit042):

YES! did you understood how we got this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dnt understand why minus 1000 from r

OpenStudy (ankit042):

see in the question it is given that "10% commission on all sales over 1000 dollars"] Now salesman makes a sale of r dollar so he will get commission only on sale above 1000 which is (r-1000)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh i get it now! Thank you so much
