Trisha is going to Mexico to buy her grandmother a scarf. Trisha's grandmother's favorite color is yellow and her next favorite color is pink and her next favorite color is green. When Trisha got to the Mexican scarf shop she found out that a strand of yellow yarn costs 5 cents and a strand of pink yarn costs 3 cents and a strand of green yarn costs 7 cents. Trisha told the Mexican scarf maker that she wanted a 900 strand scarf made of 42% yellow yarn, and 37% pink yarn, and 21% green yarn. Trisha is planning on paying for the scarf by selling beef taco's to the workers. Trisha sells each beef taco for 12 cents and makes a profit of 80% on each beef taco. If Trisha only has 955 beef tacos, is that enough beef tacos to sell in order to buy her grandmother her scarf?
