So we want one drink, which takes 2.25 off our total of 10$.
x is < or equal to 7.75
10-2.25=7.75
Then we can do 1.75 * 4 = 7$ to see that we have .75 cents left

You can buy 4 tacos.

you can only buy 4 tacos with 10 dollars but you would still have 3 dollars left enough to add your drink and you would be left with 75 cents
