First introduced in Los Angeles, the concept of Korean-style tacos sold from a catering truck has been gaining popularity nationally (The New York Times, July 27, 2010). This taco is an interesting mix of corn tortillas with Korean-style beef, garnished with onion, cilantro, and a hash of chili-soy-dressed lettuce. Suppose one such taco truck operates in the Detroit area.

b. How much should the owners buy if they want to meet demand on 95% of the days?
