Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Josiah owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos.

He sells each burritos for $7.50. If 79 burritos were sold.

Then the price of 79 burritos is $(7.50×79) =$592.50

Let x tacos were sold.

He sells each tacos for $5.

Then the price of x tacos is = $(x × 5)=$5x

Also given that Josiah must sell a minimum of $930 worth of tacos and burritos.

Therefore,

5x+592.50≥ 930

⇔5x≥930-592.50

⇔5x≥337.5

⇔x≥67.5

But he only has enough supplies to make 149 tacos or burrito.

He already sold 79 burrito.

So, remain space for tacos is = (149-79) = 70

So,67.5≤x≤70

∴x = 68 or 69 or 70

Therefore Josiah must sell 68 or 69 or 70 tacos in order to meet the requirement.
