    8,155

    Explanation:

    The pretax income is the difference between the total revenue and the total expense. The total expense is the sum of the fixed and variable cost. Both the total revenue and variable cost are a direct function of the number of units sold.

    Let the number of units required to make the targeted pretax income be x

    49x - 29x - 116,500 = 0.4 * 116,500

    20x = 163100

    x = 8155

    The number of units that must be sold to achieve this target income level is 8,155
