The sequence 3.75, 7.5, 11.25, 15, 18.75, . . . represents the total cost a customer pays at a taqueria based on the number of tacos ordered. This means that the total cost for 1 taco is $3.75, for 2 tacos is $7.50, for 3 tacos is $11.25, and so on. What is the maximum number of tacos that can be ordered if a customer has $100 to spend?(1 point)

Answer 1

The pattern in the sequence is that the cost increases by $3.75 each time.

To find the maximum number of tacos that can be ordered with $100, we need to divide $100 by $3.75 to see how many times $3.75 goes into $100.

$100 / $3.75 = 26.6666...

Since we can't order a fraction of a taco, the maximum number of tacos that can be ordered with $100 is 26 tacos.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

26 tacos
