Answer:

  at least $1,050,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Deandre's salary will be ...

  12000 + 0.06·sales

He wants that to be at least 75000, so the sales must meet the requirement ...

  12000 + 0.06·sales ≥ 75000

  0.06·sales ≥ 63000 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12000

  sales ≥ 63000/0.06 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 0.06

He will need to have at least $1,050,000 in total sales to have a yearly income at least $75,000.
