Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Big Truck Tacos will produce 120 tacos in each of the first three weeks, so they will need to produce 360 tacos in total. Since they make tacos in batches of 20, they will need to produce 18 batches (360 tacos / 20 tacos per batch). The MPS entry for the fifth week of production should be 60 tacos, which is equal to 3 batches (60 tacos / 20 tacos per batch).
