Approximately 1 out of every 4 tax returns contains some type of error. Maria has 260 tax return that she must review how many of these returns are likely to contain error

Can someone please help me with this question

One quarter of all returns contain errors, so

It is as simple as

(1/4)(260)
= 65

To determine how many tax returns are likely to contain errors, we need to calculate 1/4th of the total number of tax returns.

Step 1: Calculate 1/4th of the total number of tax returns.
1/4 of 260 = (1/4) * 260
= 260/4
= 65

Therefore, approximately 65 tax returns are likely to contain errors.
