The right answer is Option D: S>$300,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base salary of Alan = $18000

Commission = 9% = \frac{9}{100} = 0.09

Amount Alan wants to earn = $45000 or more

Let,

s be the worth he needs to sell.

Therefore,

Base salary + Commission*Total sales>Amount Alan wants to earn

18000+0.09s>45000

0.09s>45000-18000\\0.09s>27000

Dividing both sides by 0.09

\frac{0.09s}{0.09}>\frac{27000}{0.09}\\s>300000

Alan must sold items that worth at least $300,000.

The right answer is Option D: S>$300,000.
