    Yes, in fact Bill exceeded his target by £2,200.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Cost of the laptops = 50 x 400

    = 20,000

    Sold 40 at 30% profit

    (40 x 400) x 1.30

    = 20,800

    Sold 10 at 15% profit

    (15 x 400) x 1.15

    = 6900

    Total sales value

    = 20800 + 6900 = 27,700
