A CPA gets paid $160 for each tax return he prepares, and his goal is to earn $6240 preparing tax returns during this tax season. If he has already prepared 4 tax returns this tax season, how many more tax returns must he prepare in order to reach his goa

The equation that defines his pay is  PAY= 160n   where n = number of returns

he has already earned   160 x 4 = 640 dollars

 

so  6240 - 640 = amount still to be earned = 160n

5600=160n

n=35  more returns to prepare
