    For sales of 1.5M, the contribution is 45% x 1.5M = 675,000

    For breakeven, total contribution must equal total fixed costs of 1.3M.
    So we need extra contribution of 1.3M – 0.675M = 0.625M

    For extra sales, the continuation is 48% of revenue. So we need extra revenue of 0.625M / 48% = 1.30208M

    So total sales revenue of 1.5 + 1.302 = 2.802M
