why add 10000 in required sales

Question:

A salesman is appointed on the basic salary of Rs. 1,200 per month and the condition that for every sales of above Rs. 10,000, he will get 50% of basic salary and 10% of the sales as a reward. This incentive scheme does not operate for the first Rs. 10,000 of sales. What should be the value of sales if he wants to earn Rs. 7,600 in particular month? 

Options:
A)

    Rs. 60,000

B)

    Rs. 50,000

C)

    Rs. 40,000

D)

    Data Inadequate 

Solution:

    Bonus  for each 10000 sales

    = (50% of salary=600) +(10% of total sales =1000)

    =1600

          7600-1200=6400 bonus 

    

    So, required sales 

    = 10000 + 4 × 10000 = Rs. 50000
