Answer:

Steve Hooper must sale 300 shirts to meet the target profit of $1200.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here, the question is found online and the question is attached here with.

From the data

Selling price of a Shirt=$13.50

Commission per shirt=$1.50

Cost per Shirt=$8.0

So the Contribution towards profit per shirt is given as

Profit Contribution=Sale Price-(Commission+Cost)

Profit Contribution=13.50-(8+1.50)

Profit Contribution=13.50-(9.50)

Profit Contribution=$4.

So the profit contribution of 1 shirt is given as $4.

Now the target profit is given as $1200.

So the target profit is given as

Target Profit=Profit Contribution per Shirt * Number of shirts to be sold.

or

Number of Shirts to be sold=Target Profit/Profit Contribution per Shirt

Number of Shirts to be sold=$1200/$4

Number of Shirts to be sold=300

So Steve Hooper must sale 300 shirts to meet the target profit of $1200.
