Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Faruq spends all of his income on tacos and milkshakes, then we know that:

$100 = price of tacos * number of tacos + price of milkshakes * number of milkshakes

Substituting the given values:

$100 = $10 * number of tacos + $2 * 10 milkshakes

Simplifying:

$100 = $10 * number of tacos + $20

$80 = $10 * number of tacos

number of tacos = 8

Therefore, if Faruq purchases 10 milkshakes, he can purchase 8 tacos.
