Question

Bella has $540 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 $353.59.
She buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $4.98 each and a pair of bike gloves for $38.63.
She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits for $49.20 each.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of outfits Bella can purchase while staying within her budget.

Answer 1

Explanation:

$540 - $353.59 = $186.41

$186.41 - $4.98 = $181.43

$181.43 - $38.67 = $142.8

She has $142.8 left and if she want to buy the outfits for $49.20 she is going to have $93.6 left
