Thats how many restaurants Taco Bell plans to open by 2022. But not all of them will be the traditional fast-food joint you're used to seeing. Named the Taco Bell Cantina, a new brand of Taco Bell restaurant will debut later this month in Chicago. As the New York Times writes, it will feature an open kitchen and tapas, as well as a selection of alcohol.

That's how much food gets wasted per year, according to the Agriculture Department. For Americans, that translates to an average of $370 a year in the garbage. And aside from financial harm, food in landfills makes a large contribution to global warming. On Wednesday, the Obama administration will announce plans to help the U.S. waste less food.

That's how much of the mobile phone market in Mexico is controlled by one man: Carlos "Slim" Helú. And if AT&T moves into that market like it plans, it will need to get Slim on its side. AT&T plans to spend $3 billion expanding its high-speed mobile network, hoping to reach a 100 million Mexicans by 2018.

In a recent survey by Fannie Mae, that's how many renters under the age of 35 said they plan to own a home one day. And while that's good news for the recovery of the housing market, many also cited the difficulty of getting a mortgage, and student debt as major inhibitor to ever achieving that dream. And with rent constantly rising, it's becoming harder to save up for a down payment on a home.

We're in the middle of the biggest mass migration in Europe since the end of the World War II, and as distasteful as this may sound, that's a huge business opportunity. It ranges from housing refugees to selling commodities. The approach of business owners ranges from being aware they're working with a vulnerable population to taking advantage of them. Anton Troianovski wrote about the migration industry for Wall Street Journal.

On the private enterprise business of migration:

We took a look at all the different ways private companies are helping shape the migration experience in Europe. It starts on the small Greek islands where refugees and migrants arrive, where shop owners meet them selling camping supplies and canned meat, and it goes all the way to a big London private equity firm that owns one of the major refugee camp operators in Europe.

On being a volume-based business:

The way one of those private equity folks described it to us is "managing refugee camps is essentially a hostelry and care business where you happen to be catering to refugees." Refugees, of course, generally don’t have that much money to spend, and as a result, it’s a volume business, as one of those folks told us.

On how much money can be made:

It’s clearly a growth business. This refugee camp operator had revenues of $100 million approximately, last year, which is triple of where they were in 2007. Another example is a Western Union branch manager in Athens … he told us he’s been dispersing 20,000 euros a day to many of the migrants going to Athens on their way up north. He told us that that was money he wouldn’t be making anywhere else in Europe.

On migrants making up for a lack of tourism:

You know, I mentioned they don’t have that much money to spend, but as a matter of fact, many of these migrants are formerly middle class citizens in Syria and elsewhere, and are paying full freight for hotels, even buying breakfast. We’re even seeing competition for their business, for example, among the different cell phone providers down in Greece. You know, one of the ways that we found entrepreneurs and business people in Europe are looking at this is that this is a big group of consumers that are coming into this rather stagnant economy.

On everyone counting on this revenue stream:

If you’re that private equity firm, their investors include major American pension funds like the California state teacher’s retirement system and the Maryland state retirement system. They are expecting growth, and they’re expecting profits. And it should also be said that it doesn’t look like that growth is going to stop anytime soon.

That's how much a diamond stolen by a Chinese woman from a Bangkok jewelry fair is worth. She was caught on camera and was later stopped at the airport. Where was the diamond, you may be asking? In her stomach. As the BBC reports, doctors had to use a colonoscope to retrieve the gem.

That's how many soldiers Austria has sent to reinforce its borders, a response to Germany's decision to increase regulation of its borders over the weekend. The New York Times also writes that last week, 4,300 troops were sent by Hungary to guard its border with Serbia.

$100,000
That's how much an Instagram celebrity can pull in for a single sponsored post. That is, if they have millions of followers. But certainly, the more reach you have, the more money you can make. That's especially evident at NY Fashion Week, where photographers and bloggers collide to capture the best examples of effortless street-style. The secret behind all those fashionable people walking around? Some of them are paid to be there.

That's the maximum amount the Illinois Lottery says it can pay instant lotto winners, as a current impasse in government is preventing the approval of a state budget. A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of at least two winners, the argument being that claiming there will be winners while knowing of an inability to pay the reward is tantamount to fraud.

The Flora Bama is situated right on the border between Alabama and Florida, on Perdido Key on the Gulf Coast. The business sprang up in 1964, when you couldn't buy liquor in that part of Alabama. So walking over to Florida? Very convenient. What does the Flora Bama offer now? Nan Gibbs has been working there for eight years and manages the liquor store. She's been a Flora Bama customer since 1983. Nan Gibbs speaks to Lizzie O'Leary about business and liquor sales on the border.

That's the cost of a Miniature BB-8 Droid from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" merchandise. As part of a midnight release Friday, Disney stores were flooded with people trying to get a piece of the franchise, including the prized (and adorable) bot. As New York Magazine's Vulture blog writes, multiple media outlets were given free droids as part of a feeding-of-the-media frenzy.

That's how many jobs were added in August, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job creation has slowed moderately in 2015, but if you're looking for a fuller picture of the employment situation in the U.S., there's another important factor to consider: wages growth...or more importantly, the lack thereof.

That's how many bike-share users did not wear a helmet, compared with 55 percent of cyclists overall. Cities across the country have been adding similar programs, offering commuters the option of biking to work. But studies show that statistically, users of the bike share are much less likely to wear a helmet, and most programs don't require them to do so. Seattle's program, however, does require riders to wear a helmet by law. Though as the program has discovered, renting and cleaning helmets is expensive.

That's how much a high-speed train between Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia would cost to build. On Thursday, the Indonesian government finally made a decision between the two contracts — one from China, one from Japan — that were being considered. The winner: no one. Reasoning that a medium-sized train would cost a fraction of the hefty price tag, the government opted out of springing for the high-tech, speedier option, as Quartz reports.

That's how many bones were discovered by paleoanthropologist Lee Berger in South Africa, which constitute as many as 15 different individuals of a previously undiscovered ancient human species. As Quartz writes, the new species, called Homo naledi, were about 5 feet tall and had tiny skulls.

That's about how much a ride to LAX costs in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle via Uber. That's about twice as expensive as Uber's cheapest option. As companies like Uber and Lyft continue to grow exponentially, advocates for the disabled argue that the companies aren't doing enough to ensure that all customers can use their services. As the Los Angeles Times reports, Uber stated in a hearing with LAX's disability advisory committee earlier this year that it had only about 10 wheelchair-accessible vehicles in the Los Angeles area.

That's how many veterans are picked by the Posse Foundation to enroll in selective colleges in an eponymous group. The program has traditionally picked low-income, high-achieving students, but is now focusing on veterans, providing training and mentorship to help them succeed in a competitive academic setting.

That's how little per month you might be paying for the latest iPhone. That is, if you buy it directly from Apple. The company announced a new payment plan that lets customers pay for their phones in installments. With the disruption of the traditional two-year contract model, many service providers are upending their cell phone plans — pushing for lower-cost wireless plans with no lock-in long-term contract, no offer of a cheap subsidized smartphone, and no periodic low-cost smartphone upgrade.

That's about how much of the shrimp eaten by Americans is shipped from overseas. But it didn't always used to be that way. As Bloomberg reports, back before aqua-farming was developed, shrimp was still considered a delicacy. But as Asian and Latin American markets adopted the technology to breed pathogen-free shrimp, the global supply exploded, changing the supply chain of shrimp in the U.S.

That's how much the city of Baltimore will pay to the family of Freddie Gray, who suffered spinal cord injuries that eventually led to his death from his arrest in April . The sum will be paid over a two-year period. As the Baltimore Sun reports, that's more than the sum of the (at least) 120 other cases since 2011 against the Baltimore police department in relation to "brutality and misconduct."

That's the number of the patent held by TiVo for the technology that allows users to record, rewind and replay a live television signal. And that ownership of the technology is part of the reason the company has had staying power even amid the rise of streaming content juggernauts like Netflix and Hulu.

That's how much China's global exports dropped in August, according to new data out Tuesday. It's the second consecutive month that number has dropped. But some economists are more troubled by the dramatic decrease in imports, which are down 13.8 percent from last year. The slowing demand for iron and aluminum signals trouble for China's industry and construction.
