Sharon Hamilton · Answer 1

The daily average number of tacos the restaurant is selling this year is 736.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Last year, the amount of 460 tacos a day was 100% = 1.

This year, the amount of x tacos a day is 160% = 1.6.

We have to find x

x tacos - 1.6

460 tacos - 1

x = 460*1.6 = 736

The daily average number of tacos the restaurant is selling this year is 736.
