Question

Mr. Trager has $500.00 to spend at a bicycle store. All prices listed below include tax. . He buys a new bicycle for $273.98. . He buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.23 each and 1 bicycle helmet for $42.36. . He plans to use the remaining money to buy new cycling outfits for $78.12

Answer 1

2 outfits

Explanation:

first you have the total amount of money he has.

next subtract the amount of money he spends on the new bicycle

500-273.98=226.02

next find the total cost of the 3 bicycle reflectors

7.23 times 3 = 21.69

Subtract that total from the remaining amount of money left

226.02 - 21.69 = 204.33

Then subtract the helmet from the remaining money

204.33 - 42.36 = 161.97

now divide the remaining money by 78.12 to find out how many outfits he can buy

161.97 / 78.12 = around 2.07

So the answer is he can only buy 2 outfits with the remaining money

(you can not buy 2.07 outfits)
