[Question]The Kwik-e-Tax Center charges $50 for a federal return, $30 for a state return, and $80 for quarterly business taxes. If they sell 60 federal returns, 20 state returns, and 10 quarterly returns in one day, what was their total revenue for the day?
[Answer]
First find the total income from the federal returns: $50 / return * 60 returns = $3000. Then find the total income from the state returns: $30 / return * 20 returns = $600. Then find the total income from the quarterly returns: $80 / return * 10 returns = $800. Then add the income from each source to find their total income: $3000 + $600 + $800 = $4400. The answer is 4400.
