Answer 1

Answer:

35 more tax returns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of required tax returns.

We have been given that a CA get paid $160 for each tax return he prepares and his goal is to earn 6240 preparing tax return.

Since CA has already prepared 4 tax returns, so amount earned from tax returns would be $4\times \ 160=\ 640$.

The amount earned from preparing x tax returns would be $160x$.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$160x+640=6240$

$160x+640-640=6240-640$

$160x=5600$

$\frac{160x}{160}=\frac{5600}{160}$

$x=35$

Therefore, the CA must prepare 35 more tax returns in order to reach his goal.
