Question

anonymous · Answer

In order to gain profit, the sale should be greater than the expense:
3.25t > 210

@chicagochica5 Can you solve for t ( number of tacos ) now?

Yes, divide to find t : ...

anonymous · Answer

@Chlorophyll, so answer would be 64.61

anonymous · Answer

Assume you know the price of 5 ice creams is $10, but you don't have enough money, so you need to find the unit price by DIVIDING

anonymous · Answer

@Chlorophyll, by dividing i got 64.61

anonymous · Answer

So the equation is 3.25t > 210 and the answer is t=$64.62

Thank you!!

@chicagochica5  Hold, t is the number of taco, not the price, then it should be 64 tacos

anonymous · Answer
