Answer 1

To find the number of outfits Tyshawn can buy and stay within his budget, subtract the cost of the bike, reflectors, and gloves from his total budget, and then divide that amount by the cost of each outfit. Tyshawn can buy a maximum of 3 outfits.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of outfits Tyshawn can buy and stay within his budget, we need to subtract the cost of the bike, reflectors, and gloves from his total budget, and then divide that amount by the cost of each outfit.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the bike, reflectors, and gloves.

Total cost = $237.49 + (3 x $14.57) + $34.52 = $337.72

Step 2: Calculate the remaining budget after buying the bike, reflectors, and gloves.

Remaining budget = $600 - $337.72 = $262.28

Step 3: Divide the remaining budget by the cost of each outfit to find the number of outfits Tyshawn can buy.

Number of outfits = $262.28 / $71.07 = 3.69

Since Tyshawn cannot buy a fraction of an outfit, he can buy a maximum of 3 outfits while staying within his budget.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer would be 4 biking outfits o=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First add all the money he spent excluding the outfits. The answer would be 315.72. Then subtract 600 and 315.72 = 284.28. Last multiply 71.07 by 4 which gets you 284.28. The EXACT amount he has left. Answer is he can be 4 new biking outfits within his budget. Hope I could help!
