Answer 1

To find the total earnings, we need to calculate the earnings from each type of taco and then add them together.

The earnings from carne asada tacos:
11321 tacos * $3.89/taco = $44,028.69

The earnings from chicken tacos:
13132 tacos * $3.89/taco = $51,075.48

The earnings from carnitas tacos:
8982 tacos * $3.89/taco = $34,945.98

Now, we add the earnings from each type of taco:
$44,028.69 + $51,075.48 + $34,945.98 = $130,050.15

The best estimate for their total earnings from tacos is $130,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $130,000.
