Answer:

3,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the sales units is shown below:

As We know that

Operating Profit = Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs

15% of sales = 35% of sales - $45,000

20% of sales = $45,000

So, the sales is

= $45,000 ÷ 0.20

= $225,000

Now the sales unit would be

= Sales ÷ Selling price per unit

= $225,000 ÷  $75 per unit

= 3,000 units
