Answer by fractalier(6550) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Call the number of computers he needs to sell, x.
Then, since he earns $43 per computer sold, we have
43x > 10000
Now divide by 43 and get
x > 232.56
which means he needs to sell 233 computers to make a profit.
