Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine o the number of outfits Christopher can purchase while staying within his budget

Question

Christopher has $780 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listedinclude tax.

He buys a new bicycle for $446.45

He buys 22 bicycle reflectors for $16.82each and a pair of bike gloves for $24.60

He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $43.70each.

Answer 1

The total of what Christopher spends has to be less than or equal to (≤) $780. So if we add what he has already spent... on reflectors (22)*(16.82) plus gloves (1)*(24.60) which gives us a total of $394.64 already spent. Then we can make our inequality 394.64+x*43.70≤780 where x is the number of outfits he can buy. I hope that helps!
