Aaron has $480 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax. He buys a new bicycle for $427.79. He buys 2 bicycle reflectors for $10.31 each and a pair of bike gloves for $29.94. He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $47.45 each Which inequality can be used to determine o, the maximum number of outfits Aaron can purchase while staying within his budget?

Answer 1

$480 is the maximun

480 ≥ New bicycle + bicycle reflectors + Pair of bike gloves + outfits* o

o = number of outfits

_______________

New bicycle $427.79

bicycle reflectors 2* $10.31= 20.62

Pair of bike gloves 29. 94

________________________

480 ≥ New bicycle + bicycle reflectors + Pair of bike gloves + outfits* o

480 ≥ 427.79 + 20.62 + 29. 94 + 47.45 * o

480 ≥ 478.35 + 47.45 * o

478.35 + 47.45 * o ≤ 480

the first choice
