Answer 1

The correct inequality that can be used to determine the maximum number of outfits Omar can purchase while staying within his budget is:

660 ≥ 36.3x + 395.79

This inequality represents the total amount of money Omar has ($660) being greater than or equal to the sum of the cost of the outfits ($36.30 each) multiplied by the number of outfits (x), plus the amount he has already spent ($395.79) on the bicycle and other items.

By solving this inequality, we can find the maximum value of x that satisfies the condition and keeps Omar within his budget.
