At a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $1.29 and burritos cost $2.19. Michael spent a total of $42.93 at the
restaurant to buy food for a party. If he purchased half as
many burritos as tacos, how many tacos did he buy?

Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $ 1.29 and burritos cost $ 2.19, and Michael spent a total of $ 42.93 at the restaurant to buy food for a party, if he purchased half as many burritos as tacos, to determine how many tacos did he buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.29 x 20 + 2.19 x 10 = 47.7

1.29 x 16 + 2.19 x 8 = 38.16

1.29 x 18 + 2.19 x 9 = 42.93

So Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
