A local taqueria sold 11,321 carne asada tacos, 13,132 chicken tacos, and 8,982 canitas tacos last year. If each taco was sold for $3.89, which value best estimates their total earnings from tacos? (1 point)
To find the total earnings from tacos, we need to multiply the number of each type of taco sold by the price of each taco and then sum up those values.
For carne asada tacos:
Total earnings from carne asada tacos = 11,321 tacos * $3.89/taco
For chicken tacos:
Total earnings from chicken tacos = 13,132 tacos * $3.89/taco
For canitas tacos:
Total earnings from canitas tacos = 8,982 tacos * $3.89/taco
Adding up the three totals gives us the total earnings from all tacos:
Total earnings = Total earnings from carne asada tacos + Total earnings from chicken tacos + Total earnings from canitas tacos
Total earnings = (11,321 tacos * $3.89/taco) + (13,132 tacos * $3.89/taco) + (8,982 tacos * $3.89/taco)
Total earnings ≈ $44,009.69
Therefore, the value that best estimates their total earnings from tacos is approximately $44,009.69.
