  1. Let his total sales be x
    His commission would be
    = 5% of 10000 + 4% of (x-10000)
    = 500 + 4x/100 - 400
    = 100 + 4x/100
    = 100 + x/25

    The amount he pays to company
    = x- (x/25 + 100)
    = x - x/25 - 100
    = 24x/25 - 100 = 31100
    24x/25 = 31200
    x = (31200 * 25) / 24 = 32500
    total sales = 32500
