Given :
Cost of producing a pair of sunglasses = $8.75
Selling price of a pair of sunglasses = $29.99
Profit in selling one sunglasses = $29.99 - $8.75
= $21.24
Total required profit = $17,884
Number of sunglasses needed to sell to reach the target = Total profit/profit of one sunglasses
= 17,884/21.24
= 841.6 (approx)
Hence, the manufacturer needs to sell 842 pair of sunglasses.
