To determine how many tacos Frankie should sell every day to make a profit of $150 per day, we need to set up an equation based on the information provided.<br /><br />Let's denote the number of tacos Frankie needs to sell as \( x \).<br /><br />The total revenue Frankie makes from selling tacos is \( 5x \) dollars (since each taco sells for $5).<br /><br />The total cost for Frankie includes the daily rent and the cost of making the tacos. The daily rent is $75, and the cost of making each taco is $1.25. Therefore, the total cost for making \( x \) tacos is \( 1.25x \) dollars.<br /><br />The profit Frankie makes is the difference between the total revenue and the total cost. We want this profit to be $150. So, we can set up the following equation:<br /><br />\[ \text{Total Revenue} - \text{Total Cost} = \text{Profit} \]<br /><br />\[ 5x - 1.25x = 150 \]<br /><br />Now, let's solve for \( x \):<br /><br />\[ 5x - 1.25x = 150 \]<br /><br />\[ 3.75x = 150 \]<br /><br />\[ x = \frac{150}{3.75} \]<br /><br />\[ x = 40 \]<br /><br />Therefore, Frankie should sell \( \boxed{40} \) tacos every day to make a profit of $150 per day.
