Given: Every month Tim receives a fixed salary of $1,000 and a 10 percent commission on the total sales exceeding $10,000 in that month.
Asked: What was the total amount of Tim’s sales last month?

(1) Last month Tim’s fixed salary and commission was $1, 500.
The total amount of Tim’s sales last month = $10,000 + $5000 = $15,000
SUFFICIENT

(2) Last month Tim’s commission was $500.
The total amount of Tim’s sales last month = $10,000 + $5000 = $15,000
SUFFICIENT

IMO D

Here is my solution
Having: Tim's salary = 1000+ 10% sale
Find sale last month
Statement 1: Tim's salary = 1500
=> commission = 10%sale= 1500-1000=500
=> sale= 10000+500*10=> Sufficient
Statement 2: Commission = 500
=> Like statement 1
=> Sufficient
=> answer D

1.Here last month's salary of Tim is 1,500$. It implies he got sales more than 10,000$.
So commission=1500-(10,000*10%)
It implies commision=1500-1000=500
So number of sales=10,000+(500*10)=15,000$=>sufficient
2.Last month commission is 500$.It implies number of sales=15,000$=>sufficient
So option D(1 alone is sufficient and 2 alone is sufficient)
