harry made $10,000 that the end of the year.

He needs to sell $400,000 worth of goods.

Base salary = $30000

Percent Commission = 5%

Let the amount of goods that need to be sold be represented by x

Therefore, the equation will be:

30000 + (5% × x) = 50000

30000 + (0.05 × x) = 50000

30000 + 0.05x = 50000

Collect like terms

0.05x = 50000 - 30000

0.05x = 20000

x = 20000/0.05

x = 400000

Therefore, he needs to sell $400,000 worth of goods.
