He earns x% on first 2000 and y% on rest of his income.
So on 4000 rs. , he will earn as follows:
$$2000 frac{x}{100} + 2000 frac{y}{100}$$ = 700
Or $$x+y = 35$$
Similarly on 5000 rs. ,he will earn 900 as follows:
$$2000 frac{x}{100} + 3000 frac{y}{100} = 900$$
Or $$20x + 30y = 900$$ On solving above equations, we will get value of x = 15
