---------------
0.30*500 = $150 (amount he is short of his goal)
150/25 = 6 ( number of CD players he need to sell)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .7*500=350 IS WHAT HE HAS MADE.
500-350=150 IS WHAT HE NEEDS TO MAKE.
150/25=6 IS THE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL CDS HE NEEDS TO SELL TO MAKE HIS GOAL OF $500.
