, which value best estimates their total earnings from

A. $33,000
B. $130,000
C. $90,000
D.$160,000

Answer 1

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

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

Adding these together:

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

Next, we multiply the total number of tacos by the price per taco:

\[ 33,435 \times 3.89 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ 33,435 \times 3.89 \approx 130,000.15 \]

Thus, the total earnings are approximately $130,000.

Therefore, the best estimate for their total earnings is:

B. $130,000
