Question

Tariq has $640 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax.

1. He buys a new bicycle for $291.24.
2. He buys 4 bicycle reflectors for $19.56 each and a pair of bike gloves for $16.52.
3. He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $50.80 each.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of outfits Tariq can purchase while staying within h

Answer 1

Assuming all prices include tax, Tariq spent $386 in the shop. The remaining amount he has is $254.

Next, assuming he is going to spend all of the remaining money on biking dresses, the inequality for x number of dresses will be 50.8x ≤ $254.

Solving for x, we get

x ≤ (254/50.8)

x≤ 5

Therefore, Tariq can purchase at the most, 5 dresses with the remaining money.
