To find out how many taco pizzas the pizza parlor should expect to make, you can calculate 37% of the maximum number of pizzas they can make in a day, which is 135.
\[
\text{Number of Taco Pizzas} = \text{Total Pizzas} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage for Taco Pizza}}{100}\right)
\]
\[
\text{Number of Taco Pizzas} = 135 \times \left(\frac{37}{100}\right)
\]
\[
\text{Number of Taco Pizzas} = 135 \times 0.37 = 49.95
\]
Since they can't make a fraction of a pizza, we round it to the nearest whole number. Therefore, they can expect to make approximately 50 taco pizzas a day.
So the answer is **50**.
