Oct 06, 8:37:22 PM
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 $399,95
• She buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.01 each and a pair of bike gloves for $34.06.
• She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new bilding outfits
for $75,88 each
Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine w, the number of
outfits Samantha can purchase while staying within her budget

Sagot :

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step 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
