(1) The salesman earned $48 more for sales made today than for sales made yesterday.
Insufficient
We don't know how many sales were made yesterday so we can't do for today
(2) Yesterday the salesman made ten sales.
Insufficient
We don't know the relation between yesterday's and today's sales
Combining (1) and (2),
We can calculate the number of sales for today:
$48 = ($120 + n*16) - $120
n = 3
Today's sales were 13.
(C) is the answer

Let x be the total sales
Payment = 120+(x-10)*16, given x >10
x=?
S1)
The salesman earned $48 more for sales made today than for sales made yesterday.
We don't know anything about the sales today or yesterday just that the difference between them is 48
He could have made 13 sales today and 10 yesterday or 16sales today and 13 yesterday
Insufficient
S2)
Yesterday the salesman made ten sales.
No info the sales today
Insufficient
Combined, we have 10 sales yesterday which means 120 payment and 48 extra today
120+(x-10)*16 = 120+48
x=13
Sufficient
Answer C
Payment = 120+(x-10)*16, given x >10
