Answer:

$25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You already have 2,000 so all you need to do is get the other 2,000. So you would have to divide 7,000 by 100 which =70 then multiply it by 8 and you get 560. so times it by 4 you get 2,240 so he would need to sale about 28,000 to get 4240, but it a little over, so the answer to get $4000 is not perfect but the closest is $25,004 which is 7,000/100=70 x 3.5715 which will be $2,000.04.
