Answer

Answer:

26

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate money from burritos sold

$39\times5.50 = 214.5$

Step2: Calculate remaining money needed

$340 - 214.5=125.5$

Step3: Calculate minimum number of tacos

$\lceil\frac{125.5}{3.25}\rceil=\lceil38.615\rceil = 26$ (rounded up to next whole - number since can't sell partial tacos)
