    The $21,122 would he have to sell in a month if he wants to have a monthly income of $2400

    Explanation:

    In this question we assume the value which is shown below

    Let us assume the amount which is sell be X

    So, the equation would be

    Commission * (Sale amount - sales amount) + Base salary = Monthly income

    0.09 * (X - $1,950) + $675 = $2,400

    0.09X - $176 + $675 = $2,400

    0.09X = $2,400 + $176 - $675

    0.09X = $1,901

    So, X = $21,122.22

    X = Sale amount = $21,122.22
