Carlos owns and operates a food truck where he makes and sells tacos. Yesterday, he sold $66.75 worth of tacos during lunch hours. If each taco, t, was sold for $0.89, how many tacos did Carlos sell during lunch yesterday?
Set up an equation and solve.
___ = $66.75
t = ____
We can set up the equation:
$0.89t = $66.75
To solve for t, we divide both sides of the equation by $0.89:
t = $66.75 / $0.89
t = 75
Carlos sold 75 tacos during lunch yesterday.
