A local taqueria sold 11,321 carne asada tacos, 13,132 chicken tacos, and 8,982 carnitas tacos last year. If each taco was sold for $3.89, which value best estimates their total earnings from tacos?

Answer 1

To find the total earnings from tacos, we need to multiply the number of each type of taco sold by the price of each taco.

For carne asada tacos: 11,321 tacos * $3.89/taco = $44,036.69

For chicken tacos: 13,132 tacos * $3.89/taco = $51,052.48

For carnitas tacos: 8,982 tacos * $3.89/taco = $34,985.98

Adding up the earnings from each type of taco gives: $44,036.69 + $51,052.48 + $34,985.98 = $130,075.15

Therefore, the best estimate for their total earnings from tacos is $130,075.15.
