Question

a taco special consists of 2 beef tacos and 1 chicken taco. the restaurant receives an order of 9 taco specials. which equation can be used to find n, the total number of tacos in this order?
a. $n = 2 + 1 + 9$
b. $n = (2 \times 1) + 9$
c. $n = (2 + 1) \times 9$
d. $n = 2 + 1 \times 9$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the taco special

A taco special has 2 beef tacos and 1 chicken taco, so total per special: \(2 + 1\) tacos.

Step2: Determine total tacos for 9 specials

There are 9 specials, so total tacos \(n=(2 + 1)\times9\).

Answer:

C. \(n=(2 + 1)\times9\)
