The correct answer is $2,000,000.

In order for her sales to meet 10% of $50 million dollars they will need to reach $5 million by the end of the year. The insurance firm currently has total sales of $3 million, so will need to have an additional $2 million in sales in order to reach the $5 million / 10% threshold.
