Answer:

  • See below

Explanation:

The budget is $600.

Samantha spends the following amount:

  • 399.95 + 3*7.01 + 34.06 = 455.04

Now, she plans to buy w outfits which cost $75.88 each.

The inequality for this is:

  • 455.04 + 75.88w ≤ 600

Solving this we get:

  • 75.88w ≤ 600 - 455.04
  • 75.88w ≤ 144.96
  • w ≤ 144.96 / 75.88
  • w ≤ 1.91

w = 1 is the only integer solution greater than zero
