KarishmaB bb Bunuel Here in the first statement aren't we assuming that the previous month sales amount S is same as this months S. Like how can it be S only I thought its just given 1500+0.10(s+1000)=0.2(s+4000)

Not sure I follow. There is no previous month involved in the question. S simply represents Marcus’s actual sales in April.

In statement (1), “total sales that month” also refers to April sales, so we are using the same April sales amount throughout.

In statement (2), the sales are still April sales, but in a hypothetical case: if Marcus had made $4000 more in April, his sales would have been S + 4000.
