Question

tacos last year. If each taco was sold for $3.89, which value best estimates their total earnings
from tacos? (1 point)
$90,000
$130,000
$33,000
$160,000

Answer 1

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

Total tacos sold = carne asada tacos + chicken tacos + carnitas tacos = 11,321 + 13,132 + 8,982 = 33,435 tacos

Next, we can calculate the total earnings by multiplying the total number of tacos sold by the price per taco:

Total earnings = Total tacos sold × Price per taco = 33,435 × $3.89

Now we can simplify the multiplication to estimate the earnings:

33,435 × 3.89 is approximately equal to 33,000 × 4 = $132,000.

Thus, the best estimate for their total earnings from tacos is $130,000.
