Answer 1

To estimate the total earnings from the tacos, we first need to calculate the total number of tacos sold:

• Carne asada tacos: 11,321
• Chicken tacos: 13,132
• Carnitas tacos: 8,982

Total tacos sold = 11,321 + 13,132 + 8,982

Now, let's calculate:

11,321 + 13,132 = 24,453
24,453 + 8,982 = 33,435

So, the total number of tacos sold is 33,435.

Now, we'll multiply this by the price per taco ($3.89):

Total earnings = 33,435 * 3.89

To estimate this, we can round 3.89 to 4 for easier calculation:

Total earnings estimate = 33,435 * 4 = 133,740

This value is closest to $130,000 among the options provided.

Therefore, the best estimate of their total earnings from tacos is $130,000.
