Step-by-step explanation:

his salary =$2000

his commission should be (to make a total of $4000/month )=$4000-$2000 =$2000

let he should sell x amount over $7000 to get $2000 commission

So,   7% of x = 2000

             7x/100 = 2000

               x= (2000*100)/7 =28571.43 approx

As he will get commission on sales over $ 7000,so his should sell in a month

                             =$7000+$28571.43

                             = $ 35571.43
