A local taqueria sold 11,321 carne asada tacos, and 13,132 chicken tacos and 8,982 carnitas tacos last year. If each taco was sold for $3.89, which value best estimates their total earnings from tacos
A) $130,000
B) $33,000
C)$160,000
D) $90,000
To find the total earnings from all the tacos, we need to multiply the number of tacos sold by the price per taco.
For carne asada tacos:
Number of carne asada tacos sold = 11,321
Total earnings from carne asada tacos = 11,321 * $3.89
For chicken tacos:
Number of chicken tacos sold = 13,132
Total earnings from chicken tacos = 13,132 * $3.89
For carnitas tacos:
Number of carnitas tacos sold = 8,982
Total earnings from carnitas tacos = 8,982 * $3.89
Total earnings from all types of tacos = Total earnings from carne asada tacos + Total earnings from chicken tacos + Total earnings from carnitas tacos
Now let's calculate the values:
Total earnings from carne asada tacos = 11,321 * $3.89 = $43,696.69
Total earnings from chicken tacos = 13,132 * $3.89 = $51,025.48
Total earnings from carnitas tacos = 8,982 * $3.89 = $34,896.18
Total earnings from all types of tacos = $43,696.69 + $51,025.48 + $34,896.18
Total earnings from all types of tacos ≈ $129,618.35
The value that best estimates their total earnings from tacos is approximately $130,000.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) $130,000.
