Samantha has $600 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 $392.25.
• She buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.01 each and a pair of bike gloves for $34.96.
She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits
for $75.88 each.
Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of
outfits Samantha can purchase while staying within her budget.

We want to find an inequality that says how many outfits Samantha could buy.

The solution is x ≤ 2

We know that she has $600 to spend.

She already spent:

  • $392.25 in her bicycle
  • 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.01 each, so the total is: 3*$7.01 = $21.03
  • $34.96 in a pair of gloves.

The total amount she already spent is:

$392.25 + $21.03 + $34.96 = $448.24

The amount of money that she has left is:

$600 -  $448.24 = $151.76

Ok, now we know that each outfit costs $75.88

So the price of x of these will be x times $75.88

price = $75.88*x

This must be equal or smaller than the amount of money that she has left:

$75.88*x ≤ $151.76

x ≤ $151.76/$75.88 = 2

x ≤ 2

This is the inequality that represents the number of outfits that she can buy.
