Question

cory is working his taco stand at the local carnival. he is selling individual tacos for $7 each. he has a predetermined goal of at least $455 each day.
a. $t \geq 448$
b. $t \geq 65$
c. $t \geq 3,185$
d. $t \geq 462$
a. write an inequality that can be used to determine, $t$, the minimum number of tacos he will need to sell to reach his daily goal.
b. what is the minimum number of tacos cory needs to sell?

Explanation:

Step1: Define inequality for daily goal

Let $t$ = number of tacos. Revenue = $7t$. Goal: $7t \geq 455$

Step2: Solve for $t$

Divide both sides by 7: $t \geq \frac{455}{7}$
Calculate $\frac{455}{7}=65$, so $t \geq 65$

Answer:

a. B. $t \geq 65$
b. 65
