Answer: 68.60%

sales volume = 5370

total contribution = 5370 * (23-10) = 69810

new contribution per unit = (17.71 - 10) = 7.71

new volume required for same total contribution = (69810 / 7.71) = 9054

increase in sales volume = (9054 - 5370) = 3684

% increase necessary to achieve same level of contribution = (3684 / 5370) * 100 = 68.60%
