Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Lydia must sell at least $680 worth of tacos and burritos each day, and she only has enough supplies to make 115 tacos or burritos. If she sells each taco for $4, then she can make a maximum of 115 tacos * $4/taco = $<<115*4=460>>460 by selling tacos.

Therefore, in order to make at least $680, Lydia must sell burritos in addition to the tacos. The minimum number of burritos she must sell in order to make at least $680 is $680 - $460 = $<<680-460=220>>220.

Since Lydia sells each burrito for $6.75, she must sell at least $220 / $6.75/burrito = <<220/6.75=32.5>>32.5 burritos to make at least $680. Since she only has enough supplies to make 115 tacos or burritos, and she has already accounted for 115 tacos, she must sell a minimum of 32.5 burritos to meet the requirements.
