Explanation:

Mr.Trager have $600.00

1.New bicycle $253.98

2.3 bicycle reflectors $7.50 each which will give him $22.50

3.1 bicycle helmet $42.36

4.Then I add all his spending money's together,which give him $318.84

5.substract $318.84 in $600.00 which will give $281.16

6.then use a calculator to know how many outfit can he obtain in $281.16*

*divide $281.16 by 78.12 ,which give 3.599078341 so THE ANSWER IS 3 OUTFITS.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total money = $600

Bicycle cost = $253.98

3 bicycle reflector = 3×$7.5 =$22.5

Bicycle helmet = $42.36

Total money spent will be equal to the = $(253.98+22.5+42.36)

= $318.84

Amount remaining = $(600-318.84)

= $281.16

The number of outfit he can get at $78.12 = $281.16/78.12 = 3.60

He can get 3 outfit and have $0.60
