From its total income, A sales company spent Rs.20,000 for advertising, half of the remainder on commissions and had Rs.6000 left. What was its total income?

• Let the Total Income be X.
  
  20,000 is spend for advertising.
  "half of the remainder on commissions"->So, it is expressed as
  ((X-20000)/2)
  6000 remain.
  
  So algebrically,
  
  X=20000 +((X-20000)/2)) + 6000
  X-X/2 = 20000-10000+60000
  
  X=32000

• x is total income
  
  x=20,000+x/2+6000
  x-x/2=26,000
  x=32,000

• Very Easy
  6000 rs is half then half of double is 1 is 12000
  then add 20,000+12000=32000 ans
  Try to solve logically

• Total income =x
  Advertise=20,000
  Remain=x-20,000
  commission=(x-20,000)/2
  total income=20,000+(x-20,000)/2+6000
  x=20,000+x/2-10,000+6000
  x-x/2=16,000
  x/2=16,000
  x=32000

• 20,000 is spend for advertisement
  "half of the remainder on commissions"
  and had 6000 left
  so
  6000+6000=12000
  20000+12000=32000
  Ans 32000

• let the total income of the company be X,
  They spent Rs.20,000 on Advertisement and Half on Commissions and has Rs.6000 left,
  
  then,
  X = 20000 + ((X-20000)/2) +6000
  which gives Rs.32,000
  
  Alternate Method,
  ____________________
  
  They spent Rs.20000 on Ad.
  They had Rs.6000 left.
  They said that, half of remaining spent in commissions
  so half means 12000/2 which they have Rs.6000 left, thus they spent Rs.6000 on commissions
  
  So, totally X = 20000+6000+6000
  thus X=32,000
