Calculate Total Sales: First, we need to calculate the total sales from the 65 burritos sold. Each burrito is sold for $7.50, so the total sales from burritos is: 65 burritos * $7.50 per burrito = $487.50Determine Additional Amount: Next, we need to determine how much more money Joshua needs to make to reach the minimum sales goal of $600. The minimum additional amount needed is: $600 - $487.50 = $112.50Calculate Tacos Needed: Now, we need to calculate the number of tacos Joshua must sell to make up the additional $112.50. Each taco is sold for $3.75, so the number of tacos needed is: $112.50 / $3.75 per taco = 30 tacosCheck Supplies: Finally, we need to check if Joshua has enough supplies to make the additional 30 tacos. Joshua has enough supplies to make 96 tacos or burritos in total. Since he has already made 65 burritos, he can make: 96 - 65 = 31 tacosMeet Sales Goal: Since Joshua can make 31 tacos and he only needs to sell 30 tacos to meet the minimum sales requirement, he has enough supplies to meet his goal.
