How many tacos could you buy with your money? If you had $20 dollars would you have enough money to buy a taco for 37 students on a Tuesday?

Answer:

You can buy 40 tacos

You have enough money

Explanation:

Given


Amount = \$20


Taco = 20


Unit\ Cost = \$0.50 --- missing from the question

Required

Determine if you have enough amount

The number of Tacos that $20 can afford is calculated as:


Tacos = (Amount)/(Unit\ Cost)

So, we have:


Tacos = (20)/(0.50)


Tacos = 40


40 > 37 -- i.e. the number of Tacos will go round the 37 students

Hence, you have enough money
