Question

10. A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stand’s expenses for the day are $210. Define 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 the inequality. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

Answer 1

x : number of tacos they sell per day. ...... profit = y = 3.25 × x - 210 ......inequality. y > 0. so. x > 210/3.25 = 840/13 = 64. ......so the taco stand must sell at least 65 tacos for making profit.
