Bort wants to make money selling tacos. He sells 25 tacos on the first day. He then sells 12 tacos each day after that.
b) If each taco sells for $3, how much money does he make in the first 30 days? Explain how you got your answer.
To calculate how much money Bort makes in the first 30 days, we need to calculate the total number of tacos he sells in those days.
On the first day, he sells 25 tacos.
From the second day onwards, he sells 12 tacos each day for the remaining 29 days.
So, the total number of tacos he sells in 30 days is:
25 (first day) + 12 tacos/day * 29 days = 25 + 12 * 29 = 25 + 348 = 373 tacos
Since each taco sells for $3, the total amount of money Bort makes in the first 30 days is:
373 tacos * $3/taco = $1119
Therefore, Bort makes $1119 in the first 30 days by selling tacos.
