Question

If 3 tacos at taco el primo cost $5.31, how much would 8 tacos cost?

Answer 1

3t = 5.31

t = 1.77

We're looking for 8t.

t = 1.77

8t = 14.16

Answer 2

Answer:

$\ 14.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question implies a constant rate, we can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{3}{5.31}=\frac{8}{x},\\3x=8\cdot 5.31,\\x=\frac{8\cdot 5.31}{3}=\boxed{\ 14.16}$
