Question

A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stand’s expenses for the day are $210. Define your
variables and write an inequality to represent the amount of tacos they need to sell per day to
make a profit, and then solve the inequality. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

Answer 1

Say x is the number of tacos they need to sell,
($3.25 * x) should be greater than $210 if they want to make a profit.

Answer 2

How do you write an equality representing that?

Answer 3

The inequality is gonna look like this : 3.25*x > 250

Answer 4

ok so he would need to sell 65 tacos to break even. 65*3.25=64.67

Answer 5

Correct?

Answer 6

Yep ! And that would mean x should be greater than 65 if they wanna make a profit (aka x>65)

Answer 7

THANK YOU!!
