Explanation:

1. Most people file their tax returns in the month of March and April. The number of people who filed their tax returns spiked in the month of February then slowed down a bit in the month of March then spiked again approaching April 15.

2. In the first week of February, about 18 million people filed their tax returns, and in the week of April 15 it was approximately 3 million people. To get the total number combined for February and April we can use the expression;

Total number=Number that filed in February+number that filed in April

where;

number that filed in February=18 M

number that filed in April=3 M

replacing in the above expression;

Total number=18+3=21 M

The approximate number of people who filed their returns the first week of February and the week of April 15, combined=21 M

A=number of people who filed their tax returns during the week of April 15th

T=total number of people who filed their tax returns
