Question

Pleasee help!!

A taco stand specializes in beef tacos. The food permit to run the stand costs $100. The cost of supplies to make each taco cost $0.50. The stand is selling tacos for $3.00 each.

The inequality 3n > 100 + 0.50n represents the sales required for the taco stand to make a profit.

Will the taco stand make a profit if it sells 50 tacos? Show how you know .

Answer 1

Yes the stand would make a profit, a $25 profit to be exact.

Explanation:

the equation is 3n>100+0.50n

if the stand sells 50 then n=50 making it 3(50)>100+0.50(50).

by doing the multiplication then adding you'll get 150>125 since 3×50 is 150 ans 0.50×50 is 25 and you add the 25 to 100.

which means it'll gain $150 and spend $125 on maintaining the stand and for supplies with a $25 left over. It would make a profit
