First, figure out whether he got the bonus or not. The border case is for $500 000 in sales. 7% of $500 000 is $35 000. Adding on his base salary gets $49 000. He clearly made more that that, so he did get a $5000 bonus.

Letting x be his total sales, gets the equation.

14000 + 0.07x + 5000 = 55771

I assume you're good from here.
