Question

Naomi owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She sells each taco for $3 and each burrito for $5.25. Naomi must sell a minimum of $470 worth of tacos and burritos each day. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tacos sold, tt, and the number of burritos sold, bb, that would satisfy the constraint.
