Whenever Art Dealer sells a sculpture, he earns a 20 percent commission on the first $12,000 of the sale price plus 15 percent of the sale price in excess of $12,000. If Art earned a $3,900 commission on the sale of a certain sculpture, what was the sale price?
A. \(13500\)
B. \(14500\)
C. \(16000\)
D. \(18000\)
E. \(22000\)
Here,
Let the total SP = x
as per ques;
12,000 * 0.2 + 0.15* (x - 12,000) = 3900
or 0.15x = 3300
or x = Selling Price = \(\frac{3300}{0.15}\) = 22,000
