D.26

Answer 1

My answer is C-23

$90×3decks=$270

$2340-$270=$2070

$2070÷$90=23decks

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tarot card reader gets paid $90 for each deck he reads.

Payment per each deck he reads = 90$

His goal is to earn $2340 reading tarot cards this month

Total earning needed = 2340 $

$\texttt{Number of decks to be read = }\frac{2340}{90}=26$

If he has already read 3 decks this month, how many more decks must he read in order to reach his goal.

Number of decks he must read = 26 - 3 = 23

Option C is the correct answer.
