Anna has $540 to spend at the bicycle shop → this means that she can spend the $540 or less, you can symbolize this as ≤ $540

Her costs include:

• A bicycle for ,$402.87

,

• 3 bicycle reflectors for $10.97/each, the total will be 3*10.97=,$32.91

,

• A pair of bike gloves for ,$14.42

,

• With the remaining money, she wants to buy as many biking outfits as possible. Let "o" represent the number of outfits she can buy, considering each one costs $44.90, then the total cost for the outfits can be symbolized as ,$44.90o

The calculation for her total expenses is the sum of everything she buys:

"Bicycle"+"Reflectors"+"Gloves"+"Outfits"≤$540

Using the costs listed above the expression is


402.87+32.91+14.42+44.90o\leq540

Simplify the like terms, i.e. add the alone numbers together


450.20+44.90o\leq540
