Question

Katherine has $460 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax. She buys a new bicycle for $362.68. She buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $10.20 each and a pair of bike gloves for $12.54. She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits for $27.09 each. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing the number of outfits she can buy while staying within her budget. a. oo ≥ 4 b. oo ≤ 4 c. oo > 4 d. oo < 4

Answer 1

To determine the number of biking outfits Katherine can buy while staying within her budget, subtract the cost of the new bicycle, reflectors, and bike gloves from her total budget. The inequality representing the number of outfits she can buy is oo ≤ (460-$405.82) / $27.09.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of biking outfits Katherine can buy while staying within her budget, we need to subtract the cost of the new bicycle, reflectors, and bike gloves from her total budget.

The total cost of the new bicycle, reflectors, and bike gloves is $362.68 + ($10.20 x 3) + $ 12.54 = $405.82.

Therefore, the inequality representing the number of outfits Katherine can buy is oo ≤ (460-$405.82) / $27.09.
