Answer:

35 more tax returns.

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* \$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


(160x)/(160)=(5600)/(160)


x=35

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