The right answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base salary = $18000

Commission rate = 9%

Amount Alan wants to earn = $45000

As base salary is $18000, therefore we will subtract this amount.

Amount Alan wants to earn = 45000 - 18000 = 27000

Let,

x be the total amount.

According to given statement;

9% of x > 27000

[tex]\frac{9}{100}x>27000\\0.09x>27000[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.09

[tex]\frac{0.09x}{0.09}>\frac{27000}{0.09}\\x>300000[/tex]

He needs to sell items of worth more than $300000.

The right answer is Option D.
