    His total, needs to be $6000 to reach his goal.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If he receives a basic salary of $800 per month, he need an extra $1200 to reach his goal of $2000 in that month. Since he receives 20% of all sales in the month he needs to make a sales of $6000 to receive a commission of $1200 to reach his goal of $2000 in that month.

    Let the total sales be $x

    Calculation; 20/100 * x = 1200

    0.2x = 1200

    X = 1200/0.2

    X = $6000
