Answer 1

@Mariam.A

Answer 2

anyone...

Answer 3

so they need to sell tacos that will cover the expenses for the day (>$210) and also provide some profit

Answer 4

yes..

Answer 5

so if x represents how much tacos sold in a day and they need to sell >$210
what do you think the equation should look like

Answer 6

uhh, 3.25x+p=210 ... i dont know...

Answer 7

@Mariam.A

Answer 8

what is your p for?

Answer 9

profit? i dont know this is hard...

Answer 10

@Mariam.A

Answer 11

having two variable in an equation makes it messy with x and p in the same equation it will be more difficult to solve

Answer 12

so i recommend eliminate the p
and just have
3.25x>210
so that means the number of tacos multiplied by the amount for 1 has to be greater than their expense

Answer 13

oh...

Answer 14

I'm still confused @Mariam.A

Answer 15

ok... but you do get the equation?

Answer 16

so the equation
3.25x>210
is explaining that
3.25 mulitiplied by x which represents number of tacos is always greater than 210 which represents the expense

Answer 17

okay I understand that! &Mariam.A

Answer 18

@Mariam.A

Answer 19

ok now you can solve for x using
3.25x=210

Answer 20

can you do that?

Answer 21

would that b the answer ???

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

ok what did you get?

Answer 24

I got $64.61

Answer 25

@Mariam.A

Answer 26

$64.62 to be exact if rounding off
so that means
x>64.62

Answer 27

is that the answer??

Answer 28
