Default simple average formula...can you solve it in principle?

=((target_days*target_average)-(days_to_date*average_to_date))/(target_days-
days_to_date)

How do you run a report or formula for the following principle example?

Based on a sales competition, I have 100 days to get my daily average

income
to a total average of $45. I am averaging $30 income daily through the

first
61 days. How do I run a report that can tell me (instead of manually

doing
it) the amount of daily income I need to average for the remaining 38 days

in
order to meet my goal of $45.00 for the 100-day period? I am using 2003
version.

thanks....
