    Joe needs to sell $21,667 in goods to end up with a weekly income of $1,100.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's write an equation that describes this situation, and then solve the equation for the necessary weekly sales.

    Flat $450, plus 3% of his sales, add up to $1,100.

    Let s represent the amount of sales.

    Then $450 + 0.03s = $1,100, where 0.03 is the decimal equivalent of 3%.

    Solving for s,

    0.03s = $1,100 - $450 = $650.

    Dividing both sides by 0.03, to isolate s, we get:

    s = $650/0.03 = $21,667

    Joe needs to sell $21,667 in goods to end up with a weekly income of $1,100.
