Question

14. A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stand’s expenses for the day are $210. Write an inequality to represent the amount of tacos they need to sell per day to make a profit, and then solve the inequality.

Answer 1

⇒3.25n>210

Divide both sides by 3.25 to get the value of n.

Answer 2

\(\begin{array}{llll}
tacos&amount\\
\hline\\
3.25\times 1&3.25\\
3.25\times2&6.50\\
3.25\times3&9.75\\
3.25\times4&13\\
3.25\times5&16.25\\
...&...\\
\end{array}\)

the expenses are $210, so when selling tacos, they'd need to sell at least $210 to cover their expenses, so anything above that, or GREATER than that, will be profit
so as Nurali said 3.25n > 210

at that point, "n" tacos, will yield more than $210 and thus a profit
