The best way is to use a bit of simple algebra.
The after tax contribution is (3,000 - 1,800) x 65% = 780 per unit.
The after tax fixed costs are 380,420 x 65% = 247,273
If they sell X units, then the profit will be 780X - 247,273.
They want the profit to be 20% of revenue which is 20% x 3,000 x X = 600X
Therefore,
780X - 247,273 = 600X
If you solve this for X then you know how many units they need to sell. Multiply that by 3,000 and you have the required revenue.
