Question

$160,000

$90,000

$33,000

$130.000

Answer 1

To estimate the total earnings from the tacos, let's first calculate the total number of tacos sold:

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

Add these numbers together:

\[ 11,321 + 13,132 + 8,982 = 33,435 \]

Now, multiply the total number of tacos by the price per taco ($3.89):

\[ 33,435 \times 3.89 \approx 130,000 \]

To make the multiplication simpler for estimating, we can round $3.89 to approximately $4:

\[ 33,435 \times 4 = 133,740 \]

The closest estimate from the options provided is $130,000.
