Tax returns filed manually have a 20% chance of containing errors, while tax returns filed electronically have a 0.05% chance of containing the same. if 2.7 million tax returns are filed each way, how many more erroneous manually filed returns will there be than erroneous electronically filed returns? a. 270,675 b. 538,650 c. 541,350 d. 269,325

B) 538, 650

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Errors on tax returns filed manually  = 20%

Errors on tax returns filed electronically  = 0.05%

Tax return filled in each way = 2.7 million

Manual filing:

2,700,000 x 20% = 2,700,000*0.2 = 540,000

Electronic filing:

2,700,000 x 0.05% = 2, 700,000*0.0005 = 1,350

Error difference = 540,000 - 1,350 = 538,650

There will be 538,650 more erroneous tax returns filed manually than there are filed electronically.
