assuming you have earned the 2/9th's of the 30$ today, you can say that
(2/9) x 30 =
.222 x 30 = 6.67
So today you have earned
$30 + $6.67
Therefore, you need to determine how far away that is from reaching the $100 target
100 - 36.67 = $63.33
You would need to earn $63.33 dollars today to reach $100 total sales
