0.38 * 450 = $171 more

171 / 57 = 3

He needs to sell 3 more players.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

To determine the number of CD players Jason needs to sell in order to meet his goal, we need to calculate the shortfall and then divide it by the amount he earns from selling each CD player.

First, we need to find 38% of his goal amount. To do this, we can multiply the goal amount by 0.38:

38% short = 0.38 * $450 = $171

Next, we need to find out how many CD players Jason needs to sell to make $171, as he earns $57 per CD player. To do this, we'll divide the shortfall by the amount he earns per CD player:

Number of CD players needed = $171 / $57 = 3

Therefore, Jason needs to sell 3 CD players in order to meet his goal of earning $450 for the week.
