Question

a taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. the stand's expenses for the day are $210. definec your variables and write an inequality to represent the amount of tacos they need to sell per day to make a profit, and then solve then solve the inequality. provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

Answer 1

Okay, we know that the expenses for the day is 210.

Knowing this, and the price of the taco, we write the inequality:

3.25t > 210

t = number of tacos

Now divide both sides by 3.25:

t > 64.62 (rounded)

Because a taco stand can't sell a fraction of a taco, we know that the taco stand has to sell more than 65 tacos for a profit.
