    Target dollar sales = $353,333

    Explanation:

    First we need to find out how much contribution do we need to get a profit of 70,000.

    Profit = Contribution - Fixed cost.

    70,000=Contribution-36,000

    70,000+36,000=106,000

    Contribution = 106,000

    Now in order to find the sales we will use the formula

    Target Sales = Contribution/Contribution margin

    Contribution = 106,000

    Contribution margin = 30%=0.3

    Input the values into the formula

    106,000/0.3=353,333.333
